Tyre Nichols protester smashes police cruiser in NYC as cops make arrests in Times Square - while thousands descend on Memphis, Washington DC and Atlanta amid calls by Antifa for violence

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 urban unrest became fairly meaningless when the COVID response prevented many “makers” from commuting to cities for work; the threat of violence just keeps those workers away (and as those office leases expire, they’ll become ghost towns). NYC is publicly discussing transforming vacant office space into residential space; if they can’t have a viable economy, they’ll expand the current “poverty economy” (adding more Third World poor to their existing pool of multi-generational American poor).

We should boycott any big chain that lets the animals loot their urban stores, as in the end, we’re getting the bill for that with higher prices. The same applies to any stores that allow open, unhindered shoplifting; the normal customers watching or filming as the animals loot these places don’t seem to understand the stores are making up the differences with what comes from THEIR pockets.

I’ve only seen a bit of the videos...and what little I saw didn’t rise to the “defies humanity” level. Has anyone seen anything on them that does rise to that level?

ANTIFA members are predominantly white soy boys. They are burning down Rat cities that are mostly black enclaves. The blacks are actually encouraging ANTIFA to burn down black cities! LOL! Only in America.

Cops are allowed to arrest protesters now that a Republican isn’t in the White House.

I kinda thought that might be the case. You have to look hard for these kind of “provocative” narrative driven stories this morning.

Went to see Fox News to see them discussing the riots. They did not before I left the room. They had Stephen A. Smith on talking about his belief that more blacks are killed by cops than whites. Liar, and the idiot on Fox, Will Cain, did not correct him.
