I’m hearing that the NYPD budget vote has been pushed back until 8pm due to disagreements
Protesters have taken to the streets and formed a barricade of sorts in anticipation of the 8pm NYPD budget vote
More and more people are quickly arriving. The man with the megaphone is saying to “go the fuck home” if those who have promised to stand against police at the front lines are afraid.
“I wanna put my foot on his fucking neck like he do us. I wanna put my foot on his back like he do us. I wanna hang him from a fucking tree like he do us.”

This was directed at the cops.
A guy just yelled for more people to help with forming a human barricade.

“White people first!” he added.
A woman used a broom to paint two NYPD cameras red & was met with a round of applause.
CURRENTLY: Protesters are ripping down construction materials and building barriers.

Looks like they’re trying to block off multiple streets
Here are some protesters dragging the materials to other areas:
More and more protesters are inching up towards a small line of officers
