Massive protests have begun in across the country Friday night following the release of the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage, as cities around the country brace for violent riots.

In New York City, a man was photographed standing atop a smashed in police vehicle windshield.

In another video of the protesters in New York City, they were heard chanting, “What do we want – Justice – if we don’t get it – Burn it down!”

Hawk Newsom, a Black Lives Matter (Racist Hate Group) leader in New York, was seen yelling through a loudspeaker, slamming Republicans for backing police, and criticizing others for demanding that protesters be peaceful.
