In “Solidarity” With Philadelphia Rioters, Brooklyn Protesters Damage Police Vehicles and Clash With Police

by CrownHeights.info

In the name of solidarity, protesters in downtown Brooklyn took to the streets Tuesday night, where they damaged vehicles and clashed with police.

The protests were in “solidarity” with protesters in Philadephia, Pennsylvania, where thousands took to the streets to protest the fatal shooting of an armed black man by the police. The protests in Philadelphia were marred with riots and widespread looting, prompting the deployment of the PA National Guard.

The protest in Brooklyn took on a similar cast, with multiple reports of vandalism, looting, and arrests. Photos of the carnage looked similar to the recent protests in New York City following the death of George Floyd, with the windows of police vehicles shattered and cars covered in graffiti.

One incident caught on video outside the central booking building went viral after a vehicle ran over multiple police officers as they tried to stop it.

At least one NYPD officer was injured in the clashes, while tens of protesters were arrested.
