Police officers in New York won’t tolerate violence, top city officials warned on April 3 as former President Donald Trump departed from Florida for his scheduled April 4 booking and arraignment on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment.

“Violence and destruction are not part of legitimate lawful expression. And it will never be tolerated in our city,” Keechant Sewell, commissioner of the New York Police Department (NYPD), told a news conference at City Hall ahead of Trump’s arrival later in the day.
