In Brooklyn are the showcase of the Apple Stores have been smeared with “ACAB” (“All Cops are Bastards”) and “BLM” (“Black lives matter”). In Harlem, just a few streets above Central Park, the sound of a circling helicopter could be heard until late at night. On the streets, demonstrators threw bottles at police officers and two police officers had to be taken to the hospital. In total, more than 30 police officers were injured.
One of the most critical moments was when two police cars protested in Brooklyn blocked and the police still made their way through the crowd.
Bill de BlasioAt a press conference, the Mayor of NYC said he wished they hadn’t. But he also explained that the demonstrators were not innocent, they shouldn’t have switched the emergency vehicles. The incident will definitely be investigated, de Blasio.
Coast to coast protests
In conversation with other mayors of the affected cities, it had been shown that the Protestants who were prepared to use violence would always be a small number of people who were well organized. Some would even come to the cities from outside. They would organize themselves online. De Blasio in this context also spoke of an anarchist movement. The protests in new York are part of an increasing wave of demonstrations, marches and clashes with the police from coast to coast of United States. The video from George Floyd’S death has anger across the country about inequality and Abuse brought to the surface after months of economic stagnation in the corona crisis in which 40 million people lost their jobs.
Cuomo: “Violence never works”
For Andrew Cuomo, the governor of the state new York it is understandable that people are outraged. It is not just the death of George Floyd, “But also the ongoing racism in this country.” People would have the right to be angry and to protest, but: “Violence never works,” so Cuomo. While the National guard in the state new York Mayor De Blasio, also in future in chaos with the New Yorker police get along. The police in NYC is effective and the number of demonstrators is relatively small for a city with more than eight million people. De Blasio does not currently want a curfew in new York City impose. In cities like Rochester and Buffalo Upstate new York if there are already hundreds of other police officers on duty, there should be more Riots come.
