First phase: Thousands of New Yorkers were back to work last week as the city officially entered Phase 1 of reopening after coronavirus closures. Retail stores are now offering limited in-store and curbside pickup, while other industries, including construction, manufacturing, agriculture, forestry and fishing, have also resumed operations. Office jobs, hair salons, gyms and restaurants, which will offer outdoor dining, will open in the second phase of the state plan, which is likely to happen by July.

Officer arrested: NYPD Officer Vincent D’Andraia (inset) was arrested for assault Tuesday for shoving a 20-year-old protester to the pavement, causing multiple seizures and a concussion. Dounya Zayer was marching to protest the death of George Floyd when she ran up to D’Andraia in

Brooklyn on May 29. The cop was caught on camera calling Zayer a “stupid f—-ing b—-h” before knocking the cell phone out of her hand and shoving her to the street, prosecutors said. D’Andraia, 28, was suspended shortly after a video of the incident circulated online. Funding cuts: The city will cut the NYPD budget and reallocate the funds to youth and social services, Mayor de Blasio said last Sunday. “We are committed to shifting resources to ensure that the focus is on our young people,”

de Blasio explained. The announcement came after the mayor met with members of the City Council’s Black, Latino and Asian Caucus.

Rule repeal: Gov. Cuomo signed a bill on Friday that rolls back a state law that has allowed police departments to keep disciplinary records secret, marking a major victory for civil rights activists. The bill — passed by the Legislature last week as part of a package of law enforcement reforms — repeals 50-a, a section of New York law that lets police, fire and corrections departments keep disciplinary and personnel records under wraps for all employees.
