Last year when the Floyd killing took place, there were protests right away over the incident which lead to more & a lot of support. No excuse for criminals but can understand where things stemmed from and what initially brought out the crowds.
But what's the continuing motive in many places? Why are they in NYC fighting police?
Folks long ago got the message that black lives matter. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the entire nation mostly supported that very idea starting the very night the Floyd killing went viral. So I no longer think these events are about going out there peacefully and get their message out. Their goal seems to be nothing more than confrontation when they go out. Chaos. 'Wildin out' as some would say. :rolleyes:

11 Arrested During Violent BLM Rally that Left 2 NYPD Officers Injured
New York City police officers arrested 11 people during a violent Black Lives Matter march Friday night. The melee left two NYPD officers injured.
Approximately 100 BLM marchers took to the streets of midtown Manhattan Friday night, the New York Post reported. At least two NYPD officers sustained minor injuries during the incident.
WABC reported the incident turned violent as protesters clashed with officers near 6th Avenue and West 54th Street around 9 p.m.
Police officials did not disclose how the officers were injured, the Post continued. Officers responded by arresting at least 11 of the anti-police protesters.
The confrontation on Sixth Avenue began when police placed one of the protesters in custody, the New York Daily News revealed. Police officials told the local news outlet a melee ensued leading to the arrest of multiple protesters.

Daily News photographer Sam Costanza came under attack from the protesters when they mistakenly identified him as a police officer. Costanza said ten to 15 protesters surrounded him and began fighting him.
One of the protesters reportedly recognized him from a protest at the NYPD 6th Precinct headquarters in Greenwich Village last year, the Post stated. One of the protesters began yelling, “He’s a cop,” leading others to swarm the man and beating him with their fists and other objects.
Photographer Jost Pacheco paints a different picture of the incident:
