Proof that Dems are rabid animals.
An irate city councilwoman allegedly bit a deputy NYPD chief during a scream-filled clash with cops at a protest against a homeless shelter in Brooklyn, according to officials and video of the incident.
Councilwoman Susan Zhuang (D-43rd Dist.) was arrested on a slew of charges including second-degree and third-degree assault and resisting arrest Wednesday morning at a demonstration with “Residents Against Homeless Shelters” in Gravesend, police confirmed.
Zhuang, 38, allegedly tried to prevent officers from arresting another woman at the protest grabbing and pushing police barricades into cops — then bit Deputy Chief of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South Frank DiGiacomo on the arm when he attempted to pull the councilwoman away from the barriers, law enforcement sources said.
Police confirmed on the phone to The Post that “multiple officers were assaulted” in the Wednesday morning demonstration and that several other demonstrators were also taken into custody.
Footage of Zhuang’s arrest shows the lawmaker cable-tied to a barricade while screaming incoherently as police attempt to take her into custody.
……..The officer was treated with an “anti-viral cocktail” and given a tetanus shot after the councilwoman allegedly chomped on his arm, the complaint said.
A council source told The Post that Zhuang’s behavior is “disqualifying for a council member.”
……..A Democratic operative said this is the second time a Common Sense Caucus member has had a run-in with the law.
“Another pro-police and law & order Common Sense Caucus member running into serious criminal problems. Where is the common sense in bringing a gun to a rally, and now biting a cop?,” they said, referring to Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-48th Dist.) bringing a gun to a pro-Palestinian rally.
Vernikov has since had those charges dropped.
Zhuang, meanwhile, is facing charges of second-degree assault, third-degree assault, obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, unlawful assembly, second-degree harassment and two counts of disorderly conduct.
I thought the Dems were all about the homeless. Mostly, it’s just for political points. Otherwise, it’s NIMBY.
