You might try going back to middle school for reading comprehension, instead of trying to stir up trouble. What you linked specifically directs the police commissioner and law guidance to review the existing laws regarding protests at "houses of worship, reproductive health facilities, private houses and other sites"; current restraints on policing protests; and evaluating proposed regulations regarding protests near houses of worship.

The review includes reviewing laws, restraints and proposed regulations on establishing protest-free zones at entrances to houses of worship, or zones outside houses of worship where protests are allowed; reviewing laws, restraints and proposed regulations on restricting protests during public services; and reviewing laws, restraints and proposed regulations about restrictions during non-religious activities.

None of this is about "he's just made it illegal to protest outside synagogues selling stolen Palestinian land". It's going over the books to find out what the laws and restraints actually are (as opposed to however prior administrations and the NYPD have chosen to interpret them), seeing if there's a different way to interpret those laws and restraints; and going through current proposals to see if they want to have NYC continue to push those proposals through.

Go back to catturd, Dogbert.
