Two Lawyers Arrested in Molotov Cocktail Attack on Police in Brooklyn

“A Princeton graduate and a human rights lawyer were both charged in an attack that left a police car dashboard charred. No one was injured,” report William K. Rashbaum and Andrea Salcedo in The New York Times.

“Two lawyers were charged with taking part in a Molotov cocktail attack on a police patrol car over the weekend — a human rights lawyer and a Princeton-educated associate at a Manhattan law firm.”

“The attack during the Brooklyn protests left the dashboard of a blue-and-white police car charred after a night of violent clashes between protesters and police, a symbol of the chaos wrought over a weekend of sometimes peaceful and sometimes violent demonstrations.”

“Both were arrested shortly after the incident early Saturday during protests against the killing of George Floyd, federal authorities said.”
