After a peaceful march from Washington Square Park up 6th Ave, we were directed by the NYPD to turn down 46th Street towards Broadway. Problem is, there was already a lot of people there, and they had no idea how many people they were sending. The result was a very dangerous situation. Not just for the protesters but also tourists and theatre goers, many of which were sent directly into the crowds of protesters. This video is of the police "escorting" us back down 46th towards 6th. I will admit, there were people amongst us provoking the police, you can clearly see them in the video, but for certain others the police overreacted... I'll let you be the judge,
