Newly released body camera footage from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has brought renewed attention to an incident last month where two NYPD officers were attacked in Times Square, igniting age-old debates about crime and immigration in NYC. The footage shows the officers approaching a group of illegal migrants and asking them to move off the sidewalk before the confrontation escalated. The release of the video has sparked controversy, with some reports suggesting that the NYPD started the confrontation and that the footage contradicts official accounts of the event. In the aftermath of the incident, most of the suspects were released without bail, but a grand jury convened by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg later indicted them. The search for three more suspects involved in the attack is ongoing.
