In new york or in ferguson? Ferguson looks fine... peaceful.

Are people trying to instigate something or something?

NYC. YEP. Not good. Zip ties, kettling and more...just like what happened with OWS a few years ago.

When I started hearing the chants of I CAN'T BREATH...

Wow, this is spreading.
Police brutality is being addressed by the people because the local and state, and federal Gov, turned blind eyes.

a reply to: WhiteAlice

I just saw.... they are TRYING to instigate the police into using force... those are the people who showed up. They are trying to turn this into another violent riot... they want the police using force, and are trying to turn this situation

its all bad... all bad...

a reply to: Darkblade71

No... one of them attacked a cop... said he was gonna turn this into a situation... I think he did just that when he did something to the cop...

they showed up to make this turn bad... on purpose...

a reply to: OpinionatedB

I didn't see anyone do that.

Looks pretty peaceful to me so far.
(I hope it stays that way)

Yep. Day of Rage. This is how what was intended to be peaceful goes bad. I was in a peaceful protest once, permit and all, and there were instigators. It went south. All It takes is a couple. One to start crap and the other to lead the flock astray.

I'm watching new york, the broadcaster says they are all surrounded and pent up like cattle, and the police intend on starting arrests, thats what it looks like too, it's getting scary

protesters chanting "we are on the sidewalk!" and "are we being detained?!"

Are you looking at the same stream? lol Ferguson is the quiet one. The one I'm watching from NYC is on the verge of mass arrest.

The cameraman is an idiot. He was instigating and talking nonsense.

Watching on the chat feed on the side,
someone said there are also protests happening in Miami and DC,
does anyone know anything about that?

a reply to: WhiteAlice

dose it make me bad that a tiny part of me wishes the whole *** house to crumble?

a reply to: ExNihiloRed

Whichever option does not violate the protester's human and constitutional rights.

a reply to: WhiteAlice

I see the NYC one.
And the soon to be possible Mass arrests....
But then I am typing now and just kind of listening and not watching.

a reply to: Darkblade71

You're spreading unsubstantiated misinformation.

Miami looks fine according to Twitter. Nothing hairy going on there. Same with DC and they apparently marched down to the National Portrait Gallery.

maybe true, I can tell, but it is still looking tense, and they're not all idiots.

and yes I just heard him say, "please don't arrest anyone, to which the cop replied, "no one is getting arrested",

a reply to: ExNihiloRed

No, I was asking a question.



Thanks for the answer WhiteAlice

The guy on the NY stream needs to STFU

NYPD just announced that they are splitting them into groups to disperse the march. So some guy just went human mic and said that that was a pretty good idea. Said to meet back up at Union Square and march again.

Agreed. Guy running the stream called it. "Poking the bear."

a reply to: Domo1

I was just thinking that.

At least he is recording.
Commentary is not helping though.
