An estimated 5,000 people filled Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village to hear speeches from activists and thousands more marched from Grand Army Plaza over the Brooklyn Bridge to lower Manhattan.
Some marchers from Brooklyn, holding signs that said “Bust police unions,” “Amerikkka” and “BLM,” held a moment of silence for Floyd and others lost to police violence.
“The police has always suppressed and repressed the poor and working class. The only thing that people can do is go out into the streets,” said Harlem activist Juan Peralta, who joined the march from West 110th Street to Washington Square Park.
Kirsten John Foy, a minister and activist, took on Mayor Bill de Blasio — for whom he worked when Hizzoner was public advocate.

It’s all too telling that much of the local media…
“You think you can invoke and invoke the legacy of black life with photo ops, by pushing people in front of you that look like us,” Foy said. “But we see through your lies.”
As of Saturday morning, 1,049 arrests tied to the protests had been made in the previous week and police had issued 1,475 summonses for violating the curfew, NYPD officials said at a briefing.
