"They're literally treating him like he is some sort of political fodder, like some sort of spectacle. He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest perp walk I've ever seen in my career," she said.

"There was no reason for the NYPD and everybody to have these big assault rifles that frankly I had no idea was in their arsenal and to have all of the press there, the media there, it was like perfectly choreographed."
