probably to do exactly what they did. specifically, to barricade streets from people also diving dumptrucks and whatever other heavy vehicle they might get. Chances are it was requested by the secret service detail.
It’s either that or an MRAP, and MRAPS don’t exactly convince people they’re the Kinder and Friendly New York Police™️
LOL, right.

Yeah they kinda look like this:
Damn. Burn.
they also look like this:
edit: Oh look. here’s some more dumptrucks.
Those look more like manure spreaders.
I wonder what it would cost to pay a guy with a manure spreader to drive out to the mar a lago golf course and spread some on the links?
I wonder why the NYPD owns a dump truck
I don’t know why, but I never thought to question that until this very moment.
Probably for this exact purpose. It’s much less intimidating than the military vehicles.

My city uses them as snowplows
Does your city police department plow the roads?
Probably just a city truck that the police were using to block the street.
