NYPD officers were swarmed by protesters in a knock-down, drag-out brawl on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night that sent two police lieutenants to the hospital.
The melee broke out at the tail end of a daylong march — which drew nearly 30,000 protesters calling for justice in the wake of the police-involved deaths of civilians Michael Brown and Eric Garner — when a group of marchers swarmed officers as they tried to make an arrest on the bridge roadway around 7:15 p.m., cops said.
“Over the past few weeks, we have gone to great lengths to ensure, even facilitate, people’s ability to protest,” said Chief of Department James O’Neill on Saturday.
“I want to be clear that these assaults do not come with the territory,” he said.

These "peaceful" protestors have evolved into terrorists. This is what monkeys
ReplyDeleteand other aggressive predators do - they test the prey to see how much they
can get away with and the lethalness of the prey before an outright attack.
The cops are trying to accommodate the protestors but I fear for their passiveness.
All administration-commie provoked.
DeleteWhat a shame we could only muster 1500-2000 in Washington this past weekend to protest against the infringement of our God given right to be armed and freely exchange those arms without government interference but these agitators can stir up 30,000! Maybe both those numbers are off but.............
