I don’t have much information about this, so apologies for the short diary and no analysis. Details will certainly emerge in the coming hours. A friend of mine was out for a walk and captured this video footage in the aftermath of possibly 5 people being run down late this afternoon. From what is known now, the protestors were apparently there in solidarity with ICE detainees who are on a hunger strike. I want to stress that this is all ongoing, so there is only supposition here as to what happened, but I wanted to share the news and video ASAP. Apparently many news organizations have asked for permission to share the video as well, so I don’t know if anyone else captured anything. Hopefully someone got footage of the actual event.

I don't know all the details, but this was the arrest after multiple #protesters were run down by a car in #MurrayHill just a little while ago. The neighborhood is filled w/cops right now @nytimes @NY1 pic.twitter.com/nOL1H2aArO

Several nights ago I wrote my first diary here, highlighting what I (and apparently, many of you) felt was a most egregiously careless comment by Maine Representative Chellie Pingree on "Hardball" -- completely misstating Boy Blue's diary title, so that it reflected an attitude that would have connoted a real threat, instead of what was actually said.

About 15 hours after the diary was published, and had been promoted to the rec list, Representative Pingree herself posted a comment, a statement of apology to the Daily Kos community and Boy Blue. By that time, however, it was a new day, and I doubt that many of you saw it.

I feel that, particularly in this day and age, for an elected official to ever admit to error is almost unheard-of, and to apologize for it to those most affected is even rarer. Therefore I am posting this follow-up diary to showcase her gracious apology.

Hello everyone,

I'm afraid this is a bit of a hasty diary, and as it is my very first here on Daily Kos, I do apologize. I am sorry, too, that I will not be able to be back for comments, if any, until much later this evening. But it is not my opinion here that is important, it is merely to pass along something I just saw happen, that I could not let go by without reporting to this community.

I was just listening to Hardball (something I seldom do, actually) and a Congresswoman from Maine was on (along w/Raul Grijalva and Debbie Wassermann-Shultz). The Congresswoman from Maine, Chellee Pingree (whose name I did not know when I sent my e-mail), following Raul Grijalva's indictment of the vile vitriol from the Right, followed up with the statement

"But you know honestly it happens on the left and the right. There was a left wing blogger who when Gabby didn't vote for Nancy Pelosi said, 'Gabby Giffords, you're dead.'"
