Mom-of-three protester sues NYC over ‘bogus’ terror charges, claims NYPD, Adams fueled accusations

A mom who cops tried to charge with terrorism after her protest of the release of Daniel Penny is suing the city for at least $2.5 million, claiming the NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams fueled accusations against her.

Kimberly Bernard, 35, of Manhattan says top city police brass and Hizzoner perpetuated the “bogus” terrorism charge against her in public statements and social-media posts after she was cuffed while protesting that Penny had not yet been charged in the subway chokehold death of disturbed homeless man Jordan Neely.

The mother of three says the public officials’ misdeeds included sharing a picture of a Molotov cocktail they claimed she and others brought to the May 2023 protest in Manhattan.
