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.

Remember when screaming hordes of White Blonde women swooped down on Minneapolis and burned it to the ground after muhammod noor murdered Justine Damond?

Neither do I.

The Beltway forgot that mail in rioters and rioter harvesting illustrates the non-existent hoards they present us with when they represent ballots at election time.

Outside the federally funded rent a mob, there are no rioting hoards. This is all theater over a very sad unfortunate event being used for alternative reasons.

How do these mobs organize so quickly? Is it, like, an on-line service, with operators standing by?

What comes after the anarcho-tyranny? Fascism? I’m guessing that they won’t give up the income tax. Total collapse may be the only way out.

Destroying Memphis is good for Tennessee

They’ll rebuild. You know, with the insurance money. It’ll be better than before. Except nobody will want to own a business there. Who needs grocery stores, anyway?

"...Also great examples of honoring the flag. Heroes. A good time to thank everyone here who served our country..."

I agree. It still means something to some of us.
