Despite anti-police chants, the group was largely peaceful until nighttime when the crowd was dominated antifa chanting things such as, “ACAB, all cops are bastards!”
Antifa got in scuffles with police, and appeared to successfully extricate one of their comrades from the hands of police officers to save them from arrest.
NBC journalist Cal Perry tweeted that his crew was attacked by antifa who said, “F–k you, snitch ass news bitch. F–k you”.
Part of the assault was captured on video.
Despite their journalist being attacked, NBC news only reported it as “far left protesters heckling the media and chanting anti-police slogans.” The showed footage from Perry’s crew, but didn’t include the footage of them being attacked, according to Newsbusters.
