Chief Monahan had actually taken a knee with Black Lives Matter protesters in June, but today he was attacked:

From 1010 Wins:
The march—which included community leaders, elected officials, law enforcement groups and congregants from faith-based institutions—ran into counter-protesters who’ve been camped outside City Hall to call for the NYPD to be defunded.
At least 37 people were arrested, including 23 men and 14 women, police said.
