More arrests and chaos now
Two more arrests after a protester and a critic passing by starting fighting. LRAD back on.

Group is now marching south with LRAD and SRG following. Most people are on sidewalks. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Clarification: the critic was frustrated about the cost of all the police present, loudly saying so while standing in the street. Protesters urged him to get out of the street, which LRAD had declared off limits, and after he approached the group a brief conflict quickly ensued.

Suffolk County, Long Island police harassed and arrested three protesters on Wednesday, using an unmarked black vehicle. This occurred while organizers were complying with police orders to move from the roadside to the sidewalk across the street.

With at least one child present, SCPD pushed through the crowd of activists protecting organizer Terrel Tuosto of LI Peaceful Protest while he crossed the street per Inspector Romagnoli's order.

Terrel and two others were arrested and sustained injuries including concussions.
According to LIPP, most police left the scene after the arrests. "They were out for an arrest from the start, not our safety, because once they got what they wanted they left."

They also claim that police regularly target Terrel and organizer Mike, who was among those arrested.
