Bay Ridge Rally for the 68th Precinct
Today is the second march for the police. Follow Megan, a journalist who is sharing videos.
Bay Ridge is a different neighborhood than Dyker Heights
Maya shared the picture above. Flags flying: US, police flag, Trump/Pence (again) and the red Albanian flag.

The two groups met up. BLM group chants BLM and then goes off about racists and the KKK.

The two sides are together……Sadly, a black girl was pepper-sprayed, but someone – not the police See here. (For her lifetime, she is going to remember she was pepper-sprayed here while she was standing up for people……which is horrible). A guy also had liquid thrown at him – See here
Things getting intense. No one seems to want any violence so far pic.twitter.com/k7EIQFZZ4U

The event is coming to an end. People on both sides were pushing people on the opposite side. But sadly, the counterprotesters brought eggs and hit a police officer with them. That’s just low and not what the BLM movement is about.
