Number of Protesters Swell at Barclays Center in Brooklyn – Could Be Largest George Floyd Protest To Date

Update 8:30 PM EDT – NYC Police Shut Down Plaza at Barclays After Several Clashes, Fire; Protesters March to Fort Greene Park…

Update 7 PM EDT – Protesters are being warned to cross at crosswalks, otherwise they will be arrested for disorderly conduct.

Surreal experience: Hearing “f*ck the police” chants, the Martin Luther King Jr speech emanating from speakers, and Brooklyn still running their 7 PM applause for healthcare workers.

Barclays admits in 2007 a possible link to slavery; is still under pressure to pay millions in reparations. For some, the site of today’s protest is no coincidence.
