Violent BLM protest in NYC leaves two NYPD cops injured, 11 arrested
NY Post ^ | February 13, 2021 | By Joe Marino and Jesse O’Neill

A Black Lives Matter march through Midtown Manhattan turned violent Friday night, with 11 protesters arrested.

The NYPD reported that two officers suffered minor injuries during the protest, which was attended by about 100 marchers; officials could not immediately say how the cops were hurt.

At least some of those arrested were accused of attacking Daily News photographer Sam Costanza at the intersection of Sixth Avenue and 54th Street in the mistaken belief that he was a cop, sources said.

The photog was surrounded and struck after one of the marchers recognized him from a BLM protest outside the NYPD’s 6th Precinct house in Greenwich Village last year, according to sources.

The agitated protester began yelling, “He’s a cop,” inciting many of his fellow marchers.

Heh, that’s fine for the left. If one person on the right looks wrong, they’re shot or canceled

So are we scouring the military to make sure we remove extremists like these?

I think pelousy suggested using machine guns for capitol riot control. Seems a good idea for antifa riots too.

The protest was mostly peaceful, until it turned violent.

“At least some of those arrested were accused of attacking Daily News photographer Sam Costanza at the intersection of Sixth Avenue and 54th Street in the mistaken belief that he was a cop, sources said.”

Somehow I don’t quite understand this as a civilian dressed in normal clothing with a microphone and camera crew should have stood out from a cop. So these that did this must have been pro Trump BLM because they are violent and stupid?

Get ready. As more of these things happen because of the pandering of this and the citizens get enough of it with the cutting of police protection, it will be the opposite of our civil war where we were fighting for the black Americans. And a lot of people will get killed for a political sham. And somehow dying for this lowers our IQ levels as it could have been talked about, and something done, rather than fought about and violence occurring. I thought humans had the ability to reason. Guess not. We’re rapidly falling on the food chain.

Obviously these are white supremacists Trump supporters in blackface and hip-hop clothes. BLM and Antifa are peaceful and our beloved, most popular EVAH President Biden is in office. This can’t be habbening!
