As the presidential election draws nearer tensions among the people are bound to ride. The NYPD has realized this and are gearing up for protestors to surface. Both CNN and Fox News have covered the story. CNN starts with the headline "NYPD tells officers to prepare for deployment in expectation of election protests," published October 13th. CNN reports that NYPD plans to gear up and be ready by October 25th, the head of the NYPD explaining that this is "one of the most contested elections in America." NYPD with training from the past few months since the death of George Floyd, hope to stop the dangerous protestors and allow the peaceful to continue. CNN also reports several groups to watch for in the coming moths, this includes white supremacist's, right winged activists, antifa and anarchists. Fox News reports with headline "NYPD gearing up for more protests as presidential election nears, Barrett confirmation hearings begin," dated October 12th. Fox News reports the same as CNN, however they do not include the different groups to be on the look out for, instead it only references the protestors from George Floyds death. Noting's of looters and protestors against cops inciting violence are the only groups noted.
