“#NYPD’s Strategic Response Group preps for post-election riot<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Fearing riots after Tuesday\u2019s election, New Yorkers are on edge \u2014 and that includes the NYPD.<\/p>\n

While Manhattan shopkeepers board up their businesses, the NYPD\u2019s elite Strategic Response Group has been amping up tactical training for weeks now in anticipation of possible violence and unrest.<\/p>\n

Their secret weapon is their bike squad, and the two-wheeled cops are deadly serious in their drilling.<\/p>\n

They hurtle down the steep, forbidding 138 steps of the so-called \u201cJoker\u201d staircase in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, not far from SRG headquarters, in order to make sure they can handle their Trek bikes like BMX champs in the middle of a riot.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur game<\/a> is always up,\u201d Deputy Chief John J. D\u2019Adamo, the veteran boss of the SRG, told the Post. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping for the best this week but we\u2019re prepared for the worst. People have gotten emboldened out there. We\u2019re living through unprecedented times. But we\u2019re prepared for whatever might happ<\/a>en.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even so, D\u2019Adamo\u2019s crew was shocked by the speed with which a mostly peaceful protest in Brooklyn Tuesday night turned violent. Six SRG police officers were injured in the melee that D\u2019Adamo blamed on a small group of \u201cradical anarchists\u201d at the demonstration.<\/p>\n
