Violent Clashes in Pro-Police Protest Lead to Two Arrests in Brooklyn
A protest in support of police was met by counter-protesters again Sunday and it led to several violent clashes between them and police, including an incident where one officer pushed a protester to the ground and another officer tased him.
Punches, eggs and bottles were thrown as pro-police protesters, who call themselves Blue Lives Matter in contrast to the Black Lives Matter movement, were face to face with counter-protesters as they marched towards the 68th Precinct in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, on Sunday.
At one point, police say a man tossed a helmet into the crowd — and a few blocks away he was tased. Elected officials are now calling for the NYPD to investigate the incident that was caught on video by multiple protesters. Source
