Context: Once again ( see this post ) I return to the story of mass arrests in NYC - peaceful protesters , or people not even demonstrating , hauled into the precinct station , some of whom were held for days . Only two people tried - acquitted of course - in proceedings that surely must have been absurd to witness given the evidence available that totally undermined all of NYPD 's claims . Everyone else released , no charges . Why were they arrested ?
Question: How might the speaker describe the NYPD ?
Option 0: Proceeding .
Option 1: Demonstrating .
Option 2: Over - reaching .
Option 3: None of the above choices .
Answer: 2
