Twitter temporarily suspended the account for a union representing sergeants in the New York Police Department on Monday for violating its privacy policy, a spokesperson for the platform confirmed, after the account reportedly shared information about the arrest of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s (D) daughter.
…The internal police report, which is not typically made public by the department, reportedly included Chiara de Blasio’s personal information including height, weight, address, date of birth and driver’s license information.
…In the since-removed post, the union asked how police officers could protect New Yorkers from “rioting anarchists” when “the mayor’s object-throwing daughter is one of them,” according to the Times.
Nothing in the police report suggested Chiara de Blasio had thrown any object, the newspaper added.

Like the officers composing them, Police unions are not on the side of law and order and they seek to protect the police at the cost of the citizenry.
Also like the officers who compose them, they are not above criminal acts, inciting violence, or threatening innocent people to make themselves feel powerful.
