NYPD says officer seen filming people leaving Drake at the Apollo was taking video for department's social media.
Video circulating on social media shows a Community Affairs officer holding a camera as concert goers exited the theater Sunday in Harlem. Some questioned how the footage will be used. "That was a safe event, it was a large event -- Drake back at the Apollo -- and we want that. We want our police and community involved, and those who are naysayers find reason to complain about everything, no matter what you do," the mayor said Monday.
Police said the video was taken for social media purposes. They say it will be edited and posted online as soon as Tuesday.
