I'm heading to the downtown Brooklyn area where the protest took place. Gonna check in on the area and some workers I know there. Follow this thread for updates
First thing I see walking down Bergen st.
I met with my friends over at Kung Fu Tea. Not only am I glad to see them safe but they showed me videos they captured of the protests. Everything looked peaceful but they say they saw 4 white people making molotovs.
The shake shack has been completely boarded up but not the chick fil a next to it, which is a business that promises to support trump's re-election
Kobe's mural seems to be untouched
This is the Target that was ALMOST looted last night. Supposedly instigated by undercover cops. It seems safe and operating normally and customers are shopping peacefully
Lotta cops moving in on the Barclays Center
The protests have pretty much resumed in front of the Barclays center. I am here to clearly state that everything is peaceful!
A FEMALE BLACK PROTESTER JUST MADE IT CLEAR DURING HER SPEECH IN FRONT OF POLICE THAT THE GOAL IS NOT LOOTING AND RIOTING
I'm gonna be honest for a minute. I'm glad I'm here

I'm officially part of history. I'm leaving a legacy for my future black brother's and sisters. 30 years from now imma tell my kids: I was there
I gave a speech in front of hundreds of people...

I feel strong
Anybody can take your life but not what you believe in
My speech was basically: we're officially part of history, our kids are gonna read about this. They're gonna read about how we fought for them. We're teaching them right from wrong. No one is born racist. So what are you gonna tell your kids after today.
I am home and safe now! Thank you to those following this thread!
