About 100 people attended the march through Midtown Manhattan

New York Post

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.


The NYPD confirmed the attack, telling The Post "a member of the media" was assaulted, and police made "a number of arrests."

Say it ain't so!

I thought all BLM and ANIFA folks were just peaceful protesters. Isn't that what we were told all summer last year during all those peaceful protests they were holding?

Looks more and more like Powderman had them pegged...Burn, Loot & Murder...

   The only surprise is, how easily otherwise bright people are willing to lie to themselves, calling BLM a peaceful, gentle and decent movement !

Being able to retain information out of a book, or class is not a sign of intelligence. In fact, I've found that most "educated intellectuals" have little, to no common sense.
All of their decisions are based what someone else wrote down, or said.
Many of these BLMers are college educated whites.

I don't agree that being able to retain information is not intelligence but I do agree that a lot of "educated intellectuals" have little to no common sense as do a lot of uneducated dummies.

  Not all...but  many today, have been through the entire gamut, high school, college and grad school, and they still don't seem to understand that for the last few decades students have been taught what to think, rather than how to think!

    There seems to be a dearth of instruction in critical thinking !

It would but it would depend of the judges and DAs. I agree, these terrorist Animals should be left laying in a pool of blood. Te Lou KY evildem mayor ALLOWED the terrorists to Burn, loot, destroy most of downtown and surrouing areas, NOW wants people to come back. He even had to cops standing by while all of the destruction was going on, also ran the Natl Guard off after a soldier shot and killed a man shooting at them. CHARLIE.
