Susan Zhuang Was Interviewed By Arthur Chi-en
Reporter Arthur Chi-en had an informative interview with Councilwoman Susan Zhuang.
One of the things the media doesn’t understand is the relationship Councilwoman Zhuang has with the community. Because Zhuang has been present in for the people, they know she is doing everything she can to represent them!
On the morning this incident happened, Zhuang went to the shelter knowing the developer did not have a permit to work at 5:00 am. She was going to have the job shut down, just like she had done several weeks before. (See here)
Even on Chinese New Year, this construction company was working because they thought the politicians were celebrating. Zhuang left her family and went to the shelter to have them shut down.
Councilwoman Zhuang shared in the interview with Arthur Chi-en that she worried about the elderly woman who was protesting and fell on the ground under the barricade. Zhuang wanted to make sure the woman was okay because she considered the woman like her own grandmother. Remember this community has been working with Zhuang for months and they know each other.
We were surprised the police didn’t take more care with the senior, especially when she was on ground. Did they even see her? It was early in the morning, so these officers may have been at the end of their shift.
I think Councilwoman Zhuang must have been so taken back by the police officer responses because most of us know police officers in Brooklyn, who will help and go above and beyond like these officers:
What's she talking about the community turning against the NYPD? Their relationship looks fine. pic.twitter.com/qis0qM93jp
