Peace officers?

Some questions:
1. Is there a copy of the 911 call? Did the caller identify themselves? Did the dispatcher ask?
2. Is it legal to prank the NYFD? Are there fines, citations, etc?

Isn't the CNG still under Newsom purview? Has he issued his OWN orders to HIS National Guard? Wouldn't it be up to official hierarchies w/in CNG to know which orders they are under? Aren't there formal requests/coordinations to be followed?

isn't that police department under her purview? Isn't she in charge of what they do/don't do?

And then there's this
Photo of a highly dynamic scene in Los Angeles during the ICE raid protests which started June 7, 2025. In the center, a mounted LAPD officer is screaming with the extremely tensed muscles in his left forearm and his watch visible under his uniform sleeve as he jerks back on the reins of his horse. It's clear the officer is losing or is imminent danger of losing control. The horse's lips are spread almost as wide as his rider's, and his panicked eyes are visible through his translucent plastic blinders. A man with very long, dark but graying hair, partially in a ponytail, is hugging the horse gently in an attempt to calm him. The man has his head and chest pressed up against the horse and appears to be holding very still relative to the other people in the shot. He's wearing a blue and green plaid long sleeve shirt. Several gray and white haired protesters are in the background, one of whom is holding a sign that clearly says FREE SPEECH at the bottom and probably FREE GAZA above that, but only the G of the second word is completely visible. The sign has a red triangle and green stripe at the bottom which are on the Palestinian flag so it's a pretty safe bet.
