democracynow.org - Saturday's nationwide actions against police killings and racial profiling included a "Millions March" that drew tens of thousands to the streets of New York City. A massive crowd took over the streets after gathering in Washington Square Park, heading uptown before turning around and closing at police headquarters downtown. A smaller group of thousands then broke off to march across the Brooklyn Bridge. Democracy Now!'s Aaron Maté and Samantha Riddell were in the streets for the protest. They filed this report.

Finally, when people get organised, then they can force real change to happen.

I'm so proud of all the people in New York, Oakland, Ferguson, Cleveland, Chicago, and everywhere who are fighting back against police violence and injustice. #BlackLivesMatter

The People united will never be defeated. All of us, young, old, black, white, Latino, Asian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and everyone else all have to set aside our minor differences and UNITE. Because the killing has to stop.

Do these folks even know what they are marching for, everybody has got a different idea. All I gotta say if you wanna move & shake the powers that be, do what Oakland Black Panther Party of Self Defense did and march out on those streets carrying rifles.
