Violence Erupts at George Floyd Protest in Manhattan, Two Arrested

At least two people were taken into custody during a George Floyd protest that turned violent in Manhattan Thursday night.

The protest started in Midtown and made its way to Bryant Park, where demonstrators began to scuffle with police.

Apparently, several demonstrators threw at least one barricade and other debris at police officers.

Two men were taken into custody by the NYPD. No one was injured.

The march, which started out peaceful, was meant to mark three years since the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

The murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police occurred on Thursday’s date three years ago.

Social justice advocates gathered outside City Hall, urging lawmakers to hold a hearing to pass the Community Power Act. They highlighted that the act was introduced nearly a year ago with the aim of replacing the current Complaint Review Board with one comprised of elected civilians, reports News 12.

Advocates state that if the Community Power Act is passed, it would grant community members the authority to discipline officers who commit misconduct. Additionally, it would replace the district attorney with an independent prosecutor in cases where police officers commit crimes.
