FEDERAL
COURTHOUSE, July 4 –
Amid protests about the murder
of George Floyd, late on May
30 the U.S. Attorney for the
Eastern District of New York
got a complaint signed
by Magistrate Judge
Sanket J. Bulsara about a
Molotov cocktail attack on an
NYPD vehicle.
Inner City Press,
which covered the protests in
Foley Square and at One Police
Plaza on May 29 (video here
and edited here),
and aftermath
on Fifth Avenue on May
30, publishes the
complaint (later-written song
on Soundcloud).
Now
on July 4 an
alleged
co-conspirator of
Samantha
Shader,
Timothy
Amerman, has
been
arrested for
his
assistance. He is
29 years-old
and lives in
Saugerties, NY; he
is employed as
a painter. From
the Complaint
(on Patreon here) --
"From
the passenger
compartment of
the vehicle
agents
recovered,
among other
things, a
handwritten
note (the
“Note”)
addressed to
“Sam +
[Sister-1].”
The note
stated 'I
found a few
more glass
bottles Than I
thought I had,
Though still
not many. I’m
giving you my
mask in hopes
That helps.
Wish I had
more. There’s
also a bag in
here for you.
BE SAFE
Please.
Really[.] Good
Luck, - Love
Tim.'...
AMERMAN
admitted
writing the
Note and
stated that he
had planned to
leave the Note
with the bag,
two cans of
paint, and his
recycling bin
containing
glass bottles
outside of his
house for
SAMANTHA
SHADER and
Sister-1 to
take. AMERMAN
stated that he
placed in the
bag masks,
rope, plastic
baggies, and
some marijuana
for SAMANTHA
SHADER and
Sister-1...
AMERMAN stated
that he
believed that
SAMANTHA
SHADER planned
to use them as
projectiles to
throw at
police and
counter-protesters
at the protest
march in New
York."
There were
also ten dollars
for "gas" --
