Protesters move past #NYPD’s 88th Precinct on DeKalb Avenue.

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.

Burns said he just got out of jail for terrorism charges and wants to go the parks and protest peacefully. “Bridges are traps!” some protesters yell in agreement with him.

Yet another protester takes the mic, saying he’s organizing a class-action lawsuit against the #NYPD for brutality at Cadman Park on Wednesday night.

Burns came back through, calling for protesters to go home. A chunk of the crowd is still standing in the intersection, with some starting to move off in opposite directions now.

This group appears to have completely broken up at this point.
