As protests over the killing of George Floyd, in which a Minneapolis police officer has been charged with murder, stretched into their seventh day on Monday, the top terrorism official at the New York City Police Department (NYPD) held a press conference on outside interference in the protests. "Demonstrations were successful and peaceful and orderly until outside groups showed up and changed the tenor and tone and began to act with disorder and violence," said John Miller, the deputy commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism, and a former FBI public affairs specialist.
