I don’t know how many protests you’ve been to, but your average thunderstorm protest doesn’t look like NYC right now
It’s an incredible protest in NYC tonight for Black Lives, against the NYPD destruction of Occupy City Hall, and against Trump’s threats, all in the pouring rain.
The NYPD just showed up in riot gear and tried to cut the peaceful march in half with barricades right before they got to city hall. Most marchers got through.

This group is paused at DeKalb and Skillman, with two group leaders trying to get control of the crowd. Each of them accused the other of being an #NYPD plant. One is the man who said he was Ace Burns earlier.

One leader wants to cross the bridges into Manhattan, with “no cops no cameras.” The other, the one who said he is Burns, is trying to head to McCarren Park or Grand Army Plaza.

Nora says she heard about a march near her and jumped on a city bike to find them. The rose, she says, is for the NYPD, for officers inside the department who want reform. Image

2. La cajera del supermercado de mi barrio no sabe a qué hora van a cerrar hoy (normalmente cierran a las 12 de la noche).
Ayer se les plantó una protesta pacífica delante del local (porque están enfrente de una comisaría) a las 20 h.

3. Desde la distancia Manhattan sigue como si nada. I ♥️🗽

Here is what I saw in Manhattan on the first night of curfew, from start to finish. (I'll be adding to this thread as I process images, so stay tuned) #GeorgeFloydProtests #nycprotest #BlackLivesMattter #NYPD An NYPD officer stands next...
First off, it should be said that journalists are scared. They are afraid of protesters (on Saturday an older female journalist described getting mobbed and robbed), but better to lose your Leica than an eye at the hands of the police. See @KillerMartinis. nytimes.com/2020/05/30/us/…
News orgs are responding to that fear by decreasing presence. It's because of fear, it's because of a lack of protective equipment, it's because the president of the united states has put targets on their back by calling them "The Enemy of the People." rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Day 4: marchers made their way from union square now passing McCarren Park, vibe is peaceful, place chooses overhead, but few NYPD here
Vibe is peaceful, mostly white, people looking on from balconies and roofs of nice Williamsburg condos cheer in support.
Still peaceful moving south through south Williamsburg, many people I’ve talked to said they joined the march when they saw people passing by whereever they were. Many said this was first March they’ve been at this week.
