A savvy Brooklyn dad starred as a one-man negotiating team between hundreds of fellow protesters and a row of dozens of NYPD officers in Park Slope on Friday night \u2014 singlehandedly ending a tense, post-curfew standoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey kept their men in check,\u201d Randy Williams, 38, said after the remarkable detente he struck by app<\/a>roaching an NYPD captain as he and fellow protesters massed near Grand Army Plaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time in a very long time the police and the community came together,\u201d Williams told The Post.<\/p>\n

The father-of-four and the captain struck an agreement: the protesters would remain non-violent if the police did so as well.<\/p>\n

And the captain, he said, agreed to let the protest continue past the 8 p.m. curfew, at least for a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told the captain a little after 8, we don\u2019t want the same thing from the night before,\u201d when police used batons to subdue protesters in the South Bronx who did not disperse after curfew, Williams said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want any of my people, meaning the protesters and people from this community, getting hurt the same way,\u201d said Williams, a music producer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want none of his officers getting hurt. I told him we stayed in check, we stayed non-violent and last night he didn\u2019t keep his officers in check.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made me a promise tonight that he would make sure that all of his officers were in check, and we would be allowed to protest peacefully past curfew.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wouldn\u2019t let it go on all night, but he would allow us to have a decent amount of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI explained to them that we appreciate them letting us go over the curfew and we appreciate them keeping their men in check and upholding their side of the bargain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked them to allow us to exit peacefully and unharmed and un-cuffed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The protesters used the extra time to sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to Breonna Taylor, the black EMT accidentally shot dead by white officers in her home in Louisville, Kentucky in March.<\/p>\n

Taylor would have turned 27 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Before protesters dispersed \u2014 peacefully, unharmed and uncuffed, as promised, at around 9:40 p.m. \u2014 Williams and a few of the other protesters shared parting fist bumps with half a dozen of the officers who 90 minutes earlier had lined up against them.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody at some point has to step up and be the bigger person,\u201d Williams said before leaving.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I see so many people get hurt, I wanted to be that man.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI showed that we can trust them. Not all of them are bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
