Massive protests have begun in across the country Friday night following the release of the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage, as cities around the country brace for violent riots.
In New York City, a man was photographed standing atop a smashed in police vehicle windshield.
NYPD officers were soon after seen trying to drag him down from atop the vehicle and eventually arrested him. At least three have been taken into custody in the Big Apple Friday evening as part of the protests, according to NBC New York.
Another stood over a cop car with a tattered American flag. Antifa has issued a call to arms for protestors to light up New York City on Friday night.
In Memphis, protesters chanted: "Say his name! Tyre Nichols!" and several dozen protesters blocked a heavily traveled bridge on Interstate 55 that is one of two main spans connecting Arkansas and Tennessee over the Mississippi River.
A poster shows the group calling upon demonstrators to gather at various locations in the Big Apple and 'Burn It All Down'.
Cities across America are anticipating widespread protests following the release of the distressing footage.
Federal employees in Memphis and Portland have been told to go home early, and workers have begun boarding up buildings. The mayor of New York City on Friday evening urged protesters to remain peaceful, and NYPD has made extensive preparations, including asking officers to stay on and work overtime when their shift finishes on Friday.
Protesters gathered in a park near the White House, in Memphis and other cities as the video was released.

The media is doing its usual and trying to throw gasoline on the flames.
“There was a small peaceful gathering in Atlanta About 50 people with signs chanting in centennial park.”
that’s because guv kemp called out the national guard IN ADVANCE, AND announced that anyone who was arrested for rioting would be charged with terrorism ... they already did exactly that to an early-bird bunch just a couple of days ago ... message sent, message received ... it’s mostly affluent white kids rioting anyway ...
It depends on where you are, I imagine. I was in the Bay Area when they rioted over Trump’s victory in 2016. I worked in San Leandro and lived in Hayward, both just south of the giant temper tantrum in Oakland and life was normal and peaceful. I think if you’re not in SF, Oakland and maybe Santa Rosa or some of the North Bay region, you’ll probably be OK.
But don’t quote me on that and best wishes - I hope you get to go on your date. 👍😃
The bigger question is whether this becomes a replay of 2020 and cities are devastated once again. That would be the final nail in the coffin for lots of American cities.
Even tho blacky beat the man to death, the protests will be against whitie. Whitie has much better stuff to steal.
The Aunt Teefah fascist Nazis need to go. Where the **** is the FBI? Time to do some REAL work if they have the testicular fortitude to do it. Stop screwing around with those J6 kids. They didn’t do anything any worse than what the American patriots did at the Boston Tea Party.
correction “was hit in his stomach”
Not to worry, this is all a brilliant Biden-Democrat Plan to make Putin laugh himself to death.
It will work like a charm!
Hey honey I am going out to loot. You want anything?
We could use another tv. We only have 1 in every room from the last looting but we could 2.
Thanks! I just watched the videos, cant see why anyone would riot over it... I can see some calls for retraining cops on how to treat citizens of this great country. And First Aid.... I wonder how many of those cops have heart problems after that.. clot shot and all.
I think my step mom (68) was out there (SF) rioting against trump where you were.... She said she had a wonderful time protesting..... Nothing I could do Im sorry.
USA has a Sickness....
Its get your free TV set night!
Yep
I’m having a smoke on my 21st floor balcony at Front & Jefferson and no problem. ( 2am).
That’s in Memphis, TN for the retards on this site.
“That’s in Memphis, TN for the retards on this site.”
The correct phrase is
That’s in Memphis, TN for those of you in Rio Linda.
there fixed it
The post fits the likes of you. Perfectly.
Sorry you didn’t get your opportunity to virtue signal.
Maybe next time. 🤡
Yes, we’re suspicious of the timing of entire release:
* Friday night
* Major news anchors gone for the weekend.
* Football
Sounds like a downplay diffusion attempt.
Perhaps pay off the family, and bury the story as quickly as possible.
Antifa is evil, just plain evil.
They are anarchists and thrive on this.
I’m also convinced they are operatives for the progressive democrats and doing their bidding as an excuse for a totalitarian crackdown on the US to put themselves (the politicians) in power and have an iron grip on it.
Then antifa will find out what they really mean to the democrats.
here in Detroit, about 20 showed up...stayed about an hour and that was it....i guess when its 15 degrees, theres only so much “social justiceing” you can do....
Massive protests have begun in across the country Friday night following the release of
Antifas MSM call to
burn it all down.
In the early days of Antifa they had lots of professional signs - the same ones in various cities. Red with a black fist iirc. They also had a website on the (rev.com or something) and a logo for something like the Socialist Workers Party.
All very hazy to me now, but they are all linked.
America is becoming ungovernable, in the sense we’ve grown accustomed to. And government is showing contempt for the notion that it needs our consent.
