Wednesday night a crowd of a little over 100 demonstrators took the streets of Brooklyn in a pure rage smashing windows, throwing trash, and lighting whatever they could find on fire.

Wallace, who was said to suffer mental is illness has not only pushed the divide between the Black community and law enforcement further apart. But it also strengthens the call for better training of officers across the U.S. in addition to less-lethal options and professionals within the mental health field to answer calls of distress instead of armed officers. Though these riots in Brooklyn won't solve the problem by any means, it seems to display the lack of patience from those who feel they have no other means to get the attention of those in power.

NYC’s Police Abolition movement followed through on their promise to disrupt the city with the third ftp demo. From chaining emergency doors open to gorilla gluing metrocard turnstiles, the Grassroots collective has definitely left an impression upon the city. The movement is demanding a transit system free of police presence, free fare, and accessibility for all citizens. Below you can see my photo from the #FTP3 #J31 demo as well as check out the full live stream on replay.
