George Floyd protests in NYC turn violent: Officers punched, pelted, more than 40 people arrested

By Michael Ruiz, Vandana Rambaran | Fox News

New York City police arrested more than 40 demonstrators Thursday evening after violent protests that followed the death of a man in police custody in Minnesota earlier in the week, police said.

Demonstrators turned out to protest the death of George Floyd, who died after an encounter with Minneapolis police on Monday. Video of the incident went viral and has led to protests around the U.S. — including incidents of looting in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The NYPD told Fox News that multiple officers sustained injuries, including one who was struck in the head with a garbage can and another who was punched in the face.

Some protesters spit at officers — despite mandates to wear a mask in public and practice social distancing in the city hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic.

Another protestor attempted to remove an officer’s gun from its holster, a police spokesperson told Fox News.

“Peaceful protest is always the best way to protest,” the spokesperson urged.

In total, the FDNY confirmed to Fox News four police officers were injured and transported to nearby hospitals.

One woman who was arrested allegedly was carrying a knife, police said.

Some of the protesters hurled bottles at officers, resulting in more than five arrests near Union Square Park, the New York Post reported. As the day went on, the marchers moved downtown and the number of protesters arrested continued to climb, with police confirming that more than 40 people had been arrested by 9:30 p.m.

Those arrested included the individual who allegedly threw a garbage can at an officer’s head and another person accused of punching a female NYPD inspector in the chest.

An abundance of videos shared on social media showed protesters clashing with police, as well as scenes of more peaceful marching and chanting.

In some videos, the crowd could be heard chanting “Black lives matter” or “Hands up, don’t shoot.”

Demonstrations continued as the sun went down, with throngs of people packing the streets in various parts of Manhattan.

In one video, a police officer holding a camcorder repeatedly told protesters to “back up” as other officers made an arrest behind him and a swarm of masked, young people surrounded them.

 

 

The New York protests erupted even after the city’s police commissioner, Dermot Shea, condemned the Minnesota incident.

“This is not acceptable anywhere,” he tweeted about Floyd’s death.

rotests have broken out in other cities as well.

Fox LA journalist Bill Melugin tweeted a video Thursday evening that showed a crowd of protesters surrounding a California Highway Patrol cruiser in the middle of the street. At least one person kicked it as multiple people shouted profanities.

They’re just looking for an excuse to loot and destroy things. The still shots of the video look bad. I haven’t viewed the entire thing. More facts need to come out and let justice take its course. If these are bad cops, punish them accordingly not OTHER PEOPLE and their property and businesses!

If they really wanted JUSTICE, they wouldn’t be stealing, harming and destroying the property of INNOCENT people that had nothing to do with George Floyd. These thugs are mocking “justice” in the name of “justice”. What’s going on is disgusting.

sorroyarse’s PAID rioters have been lurking in the bushes and waiting for the right moment to riot and cause havoc so they can blame President Trump and make him look bad, trying to divert votes away from him and STOP his agenda of draining the SWAMP. President Trump is working for America and doing the right things to keep us safe BUT the NWO finds useful events like this one AND useful idiots to keep the pot stirred and to keep it going until he is out of office. Police gangs and police brutality is real and easily used, by domestic terrorists, antifa, liberals, demonicRAT enemies, to cause chaos like this. They, the satanic demonicRATS, found a way to STOP DT RALLIES and their attacks will continue, to November elections! JESUS IS COMING!

We can look forward to a long hot summer as the Commiecrats strive to create a much chaos as possible in the run up to the elections. Next thing we will hear is that mail in ballots are necessary because people are afraid to go to the polls.

It’s because people like using titles! president Trump was called a racist for calling the virus, the Chinese virus, but if you call out for Chinese food that’s acceptable? America will never heal until we are all called American! No other languages, no other Flags, If you don’t want to assimilate to become American, leave!

I don’t see anything wrong with calling food cooked with Chinese recipes Chinese food… nor is it wrong to call a virus that originated in China the Chinese virus. Sadly many of the ones who hate America are born and raised here and I’m not referring to non-American anchor babies. As far as I’m concerned, they can emigrate to someplace like Venezuela or Cuba where the laws and social structures might be more to their liking instead of trying to change our country into a communist “utopia”. As for those who are not US citizens but who seem to prefer their mother country and laws… they can and should return to their mother countries if they like their mother country so much.

Hey Goober,you really are thick.

The fact is that TrumpVirus totally,bizarrely mishandled the response,like a teenager after his first beer
And before,when he gutted the pandemic response programs.

In the big picture it’s irrelevant where the thing originated,it’s the pitiful,criminally negligent,epically incompetent handling of the thing which clearly represented a threat to American lives and national security.
He failed miserably in protecting US,his Number One responsibility.

He knew what was up but for some insane reason dithered like a mental patient,went on golfing and Nuremberg style rallies and started blowing kisses to Xi Jinping,congratulating him on how well he was handling it.
Meanwhile,our intelligence agencies ,his friends,health experts and even his dim bulb wife were informing him just how bad the situation really was.

You think maybe Trump family interests motivated him to kiss that monster Xi’s butt?
Think Ivanka’s patents and future family projects in China.

This man is a public menace and will continue to ruin this country until we can get him the puck out of town.

” it’s irrelevant where the thing originated:”

Seriously? Viruses are typically named after where they originated from. That’s irrelevant?

You need some serious help… you are clearly suffering from TDS. You complain that Trump didn’t handle the virus appropriately yet imagine of Pelosi or Cuomo were in charge… the outbreak in would have been much worse… or if Trump listened to the WHO instead of closing down foreigner travel from China we would have had more people coming into the US who were infected.

BTW who would you rather have as president? Two-time-loser Hillary? two-time-loser Bernie? Or soon to be three-time-loser Biden? LOL!

Here’s the facts,Numbnuts:President Dumb-as-a-Box-of-Rocks botched the pandemic response on a level never seen in American history.
A handsomely uniformed dog-catcher from Podunk could have done better.

No amount of bloviating from a sap like you will ever change that.
