Several police unions in New York City criticized the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) decision to retreat from the home of a suspect accused of assaulting a police officer, after an hours-long standoff.

On Aug. 7, dozens of NYPD officers, some wearing tactical gear, showed up at the Hell’s Kitchen home of protest organizer Derrick Ingram, 28, who is accused of assaulting an officer by yelling in her ear with a megaphone at a recent demonstration.
