Commemorating the Dress rehearsal staged by NYC's 9th Precinct in July of 1988 to prepare for the full scale Police Riot of August 6-7, 1988. The Riots were subsequently blamed on the homeless, squatters, anarchists, community and denizens of the park, in order to orchestrate the largely successful plan to remake the entire area as a playground for the rich. Parallels can easily be drawn to when the nazis set fire to their own Reichstag on February 27, 1933 and blamed it on local malcontents as reason for launching the Third Reich, and larger examples of this tactic's implementation can be seen throughout history.
