Lol, Fox. “Shut It Down” isn’t really a group, it’s the same Black Lives Matter/Left Organizers.
Via Fox 5 NY:
A group known as Shut It Down is taking over Union Square on Wednesday evening with a protest in solidarity with Baltimore and to draw attention to the death of Freddie Gray. Hundreds of people gathered in Union Square for a rally and speak-out. Many chanted “Ni justice, no peace” and “hands up, don’t shoot.”
The NYPD was out in force. Police said over loudspeakers that protesters who march in the roads will be arrested.
Indeed, when a group moved west along 17th Street, several police officers wearing helmets began arresting some marchers. Many marchers then retreated along 17th Street. The large group broke into smaller groups, with some protesters dispersing, some returning to Union Square, and others marching in different directions. Video from SkyFoxHD showed police making many arrests. Fox 5’s Dan Bowens, who is on the ground, reported that cops cuffed several protesters.
The group’s Facebook page expected thousands to attend the protest.
