New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday that he did not believe New York City police were using excessive force against peaceful protesters and called on local prosecutors to keep looters in jail.
The governor’s comments during his daily briefing came hours after an NYPD officer was stabbed in the neck and two others were shot. The officers are expected to recover, and the FBI has announced it’s investigating the case.
