Cops Bring Military-Grade Armored Truck to Arrest Proud Boy in NYC

As the FBI continues to warn that far-right extremists are plotting further attacks on government facilities in the coming days, law enforcement and the National Guard are beefing up their operations from coast to coast.

In Washington DC, tens of thousands of Guardsmen will be on hand to keep the capital, (and Capitol) safe as Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20th.  The scenes were surreal, with Twitter users sharing a number of images of soldiers sleeping in some of the nation’s most hallowed hallways.

This sort of brute display of force was also being applied to arrests of members of the Proud Boys, who may have been involved in making threats of future attacks.

A SUSPECTED “Proud Boy” accused of plotting further violence in the wake of Capitol riots has been arrested in “shocking” scenes outside his New York home.

Eduard Florea, 40, was called out of his home in Middle Village by police before emerging on the street and surrendering in Queens on Tuesday night, according to NY Daily News.

Neighbors described the event with disbelief.

“It was nuts. A tank was going down the street. I couldn’t believe it, especially in a quiet neighborhood like this,” one neighbor told the outlet.

Another resident who also witnessed the arrest described the incident as shocking.

“That shocked the heck out of me,” she said, according to NY Daily News.
