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.
About a dozen people surrounded the photog, shoving him and beating him with their fists and other objects, sources said.

Violent Mostly Peaceful BLM protest in NYC leaves two NYPD cops injured, 11 arrested /Heavy S
Peaceful protests. The reason Joseph Stolen got 80 million votes
I am certain the arrested protesters have been released without being charged. BLM is just struggling for justice and can’t be held accountable.
Camel Toes has posted Bail!
Have the police officers been charged yet? s/
Sounds like an insurrection to me...
It’s OK, BLM is being nominated for a Nobel peace prize for all the cops they have killed and all the buildings and cars they have burned
Definitely give them the Nobel Peace Prize! How can Prez Trump's historic breakthroughs in Middle East peace compare to violence to achieve social (Marxist) justice?
Were they rioting because there wasn’t enough voter fraud?
Is it me, or are there similarities between this, and what that lady Gina Carino (sp) got fired for writing about.
Isolating someone who you think is different than you, then attacking them in the street.
Sounds pretty spot on.
Impeach cuomo!
So why are they rioting now. Just wanting to burn stuff down for no reason.
Heheh. But even better is to call it peaceful, and highlight some hugging. Skip reporting of all injuries and arrests. Reporting any negative connotation signals racism.
They wasn’t any bread to eat
Oh. It was a “protest”, was it?
Let’s see if the Democrats call off their Brownshirts. I certainly don’t expect it.
Since New York is no longer America, why should there be concern?
The riot is about Africanization, not Americanization.
BLM is a cancer, a societal Black Plague
Political analysis
Only 1 in 10 arrested: “Mostly peaceful.” Science!
I am sure that’s true. The bastards.
