More than 1,000 anti-cop protesters defied Mayor de Blasio and flooded Manhattan Tuesday evening, marching through the Fifth Avenue shopping district before heading uptown.One day late in 1969 (after the 1968 Chicago police riot), the march I was in changed their chant from ‘eff the pigs’ to ‘kill the pigs’. We got the hell out of there ASAP.
“The mayor says stop that, we say f–k that!” the mob chanted at one point.
Other slogans were of the sort that Hizzoner has denounced as “hateful” and “inappropriate” in the wake of Saturday’s assassinations of two city cops.
“NYPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?” the protesters shouted.
The demonstrators, some carrying a banner that read “Stop Racist Police Terror,” started marching south from 59th Street on the sidewalks, but later blocked traffic on Fifth and Madison Avenues.
They then turned around and started marching toward Harlem to demonstrate in front of a police station house.
Anyone left then, and now knows PRECISELY what they are doing and getting into.
Including a mayor and so called Action Network leader who AT BEST made a career ending set of decisions, and at worst expected to lead a revolutionary groundswell of public support of ‘justified’ violence.
