Over 100 Arrested Commanding Officer From 13th Precinct Hit With Flying Object
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A group that supports the protesters in Baltimore gathered in Union Square Wednesday and shut down the outbound Holland Tunnel, the West Side Highway and several other city streets as they marched.
More than 100 protesters were arrested as officers clashed with protesters around Manhattan, CBS2 reported. The protests followed rioting that began in Baltimore on Monday, in response to the police custody death of Freddie Gray.
NYC March In Baltimore Solidarity Protest Several hundred people gathered in Union Square around 6 p.m., and during the 7 p.m. hour, about 200 people broke off from Union Square and marched down 17th Street despite an order by officers to stay off the streets, 1010 WINS’ Gary Baumgarten reported.
On 17th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, protesters marched for less than five minutes before coming face to face with a line of NYPD officers in riot gear – a barrier that sparked instant anger and countless clashes in the street.
No serious injuries were reported, but a commanding officer from the NYPD 13th Precinct suffered minor injuries when he was hit with a flying object near Union Square, police said. There were too many arrests to track on the ground – some of them more dramatic than others, CBS2’s Weijia Jiang reported.
Jiang reported she and her crew got jostled around running in the middle of the action, and said the confrontation was more physical than those seen in Baltimore on Tuesday – the day after the riots.
Three officers were seen carrying one man, using every ounce of his energy to resist. Another handcuffed man was crouched in the street with his mouth gagged, and police also put several women into custody. Still, hundreds of people stayed defiant and determined.
“They’re obstructing us,” one man said. “We would like to march. These are our streets.” The man said it did not matter that police did not want protesters in the street.
“This is what justice is,” he said. “Sometimes it’s not pretty, but it has to happen.”
One woman said she was disappointed that police were arresting people for being in the street after being so accommodating in other protests.
As some protesters got into a shoving match with officers on 17th Street, and one woman ran in and shouted to stop, WCBS 880’s Alex Silverman reported. “Please. We’re not here to fight with the police. That’s not what we do,” she said. “We make more noise when we don’t be violent.”
The protesters were of all ages and races with a shared voice, Silverman reported.
“A civilian who’s unarmed can just be murdered by a policeman,” the woman said. “It’s a terrible situation.”

Some of the dramatic arrests were hard to watch for children caught in the middle of the chaos. “I was really scared, because I thought (the police) were going to, like, take me, and I thought they were going to, like, put me in jail, or maybe even shoot me,” said Garvey Taylor, 8.
Garvey’s mother said the fear is understandable, and exactly why they marched.
“There are people willing to sacrifice themselves for this, and we’re going to keep going,” said Michelle Taylor. “This is not it. This is only the beginning.” As the night went on, multiple groups of protesters splintered off and shut down multiple city streets, One group headed west on 14th Street, another west on 21st Street from Broadway, and a third south on University Place.
A group of several hundred eventually made it to the Holland Tunnel. The outbound side of the tunnel was shut down as Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police blocked the entrance.
The protesters then took over the West Side Highway at Canal Street and began marching north. The highway was shut down in both directions.
On the West Side Highway — known as West Street in Lower Manhattan — some protesters pushed officers and threw bottles at them, CBS2 reported.
The group Millions March NYC, who helped organize the rally, said they are a multi-racial grassroots collective of activists who want to strengthen the “Black Lives Matter” movement, CBS2’s Alice Gainer reported.
Some of the participants told Gainer they stand with Baltimore and the residents’ resistance there. They also said they look to keep the rally in New York City peaceful and non-violent.
The NYPD had been on the scene from the start, blasting an automated message letting ralliers know that pedestrians are not allowed on the roadways, sending the message that marching on the streets of New York City would not be a good idea, Gainer reported.
Prior to the demonstration, Mayor Bill de Blasio had a message for protesters with the Shut It Down group, WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported.

“I’d say that if you want to make change, keep things peaceful. When anyone gets involved in violent protests, it denigrates their cause,” the mayor said.
The mayor declared he found positive reports that some demonstrators in Baltimore saw people who wanted to be violent and worked with the police to isolate them.
“The vast majority of people are trying to work on the relationship between police and community. Do it in a peaceful manner,” de Blasio added.
Look at the picture. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 resources to corrale this whiny little lib. Then they have to cart her off, process her and by the time all is said and done, it costs a couple of thousand dollars to do what one punch in the snout will do.
Libs waste money.
Exactly right.
These people are very organized and sponsored by someone with quite a lot of money. And the government knows what is going to happen, and when it’s going to happen.
These police departments are not “outflanked” like Baltimore claimed. They are allowing the the anarchy.
“Ordo ab chao.” And they want their kind of order, not ours.
They’d like you to think this was all spontaneous, but they are organized and someone is funding the protest.

They are organized, they are obviously being paid by someone or some entity because no one flies around the country for free.
As documented here on FR, the money spigot has George Soros all over it.
“These people are very organized and sponsored by someone with quite a lot of money”
AGREED - 100%
It always does cost money and resources........but these people have no thought to more than being “among” to enjoy the shared chaos of the party......Most have no purpose in their live...these protests give them a “false” short-lived sense of significance......til the next protest.
.....In January, 1987 Clarence Burns became the first black mayor in the history of Baltimore...... Since that time the city has had ‘four mayors’, all of them Democrats, two of them women, and all but one of them Black.
BAltimore’s had 20 years of black leadership over the last 28 years’.
As for Party, the city hasn’t seen a Republican mayor since Theodore McKeldin in 1963...... Yet, as Walter Williams points out in Liberty versus the Tyranny of socialism (p.314)
“For many blacks their plight is worse in the very cities where blacks have been mayors, city councilmen, chief of police or superintendent of schools- cities such as Washington, D.C,, Detroit, Newark, and Baltimore.”
These people are very organized and sponsored by someone with quite a lot of money. And the government knows what is going to happen, and when it’s going to happen.
These police departments are not “outflanked” like Baltimore claimed. They are allowing the the anarchy.

Which brings us back to Rush’s comment at the time of the Indiana pizza fiasco: There are a dozen sources producing tens of thousands of emails supporting their one philosophy
Excellent post.
Needs more stigma. Return to food stamps, a separate line in the supermarket, fresh foods only.
Make the food stamps as large as roadmaps, and would need to be unfolded and separated.
They'd have to work for the food stamps.

History repeats….or Soros and others are aiming to repeat it.
Pratt Street Riot – April 19 1861
Baltimore Riot of 1861
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_riot_of_1861
The Baltimore riot of 1861 (also called the Pratt Street Riot and the Pratt Street Massacre) was a conflict on April 19, 1861, in Baltimore, Maryland, between anti-War Democrats (the largest party in Maryland), as well as Confederatesympathizers, and members of the Massachusetts militia en route to Washington for Federal service. It produced the first deaths by hostile action in the American Civil War.[1]
- The American Civil War began on April 12, one week before the riot.
-Fort Sumter fell (without casualties) on April 13
Big snip
-Indeed, as the militia regiment transferred between stations, a mob of anti-War supporters and Southern sympathizers attacked the train cars and blocked the route. When it became apparent that they could travel by horse no further, the troops got out of the cars and marched in formation through the city. However, the mob followed the soldiers, breaking store windows and causing damage until they finally blocked the soldiers. The mob attacked the rear companies of the regiment with “bricks, paving stones, and pistols.”[13] In response, several soldiers fired into the mob, beginning a giant brawl between the soldiers, the mob, and the Baltimore police. In the end, the soldiers got to the Camden Station, and the police were able to block the crowd from them.
- it was the Baltimore riot that pushed the two sides over the edge into full-scale war, “because then was shed the first blood in a conflict between the North and the South; then a step was taken which made compromise or retreat almost impossible; then passions on both sides were aroused which could not be controlled”.[22]
Do you see the designer handbag she is carrying?
That is a Dooney & Bourke (D&B) shoulder bag. White leather with colored hearts, trimmed with British Tan leather. Those cost hundreds of $$.
more stigma. Ha!
Somebody cue up the Christopher Walken “More cowbell [stigma]” bit.
Do you really think she cares about the protest? She’s either a addict or a street person....look at the rings of dirt around her neck.
Not when you steal them. She’s too dirty with those rings of crud around her neck..bet she’s on drugs or a prostitute.
Aside from that ....maybe her parents will catch this photo and help her get a life back..clearly being there looking like that ...she doesn’t.
