Senator Gounardes didn’t say a word on about this on any social media account – he was busy commenting about an incident in Rockland County. (see here). It’s almost like he is clueless that this huge incident happened.
Several hours after the incident, Brannan commented on Twitter. He knew the cops were heroic by then.
