New York City’s Mayor said this, although the videos show NYPD employees throwing civilians to the ground.
We have a long night ahead of us in Brooklyn. Our sole focus is deescalating this situation and getting people home safe. There will be a full review of what happened tonight. We don’t ever want to see another night like this.

Neo-Nazi groups have been arrested out of state. They are the ones truly causing mayhem.
White supremacists are apparently traveling to Minneapolis (and presumably other cities) to incite mayhem. 80% arrested are from out of state.

More protests are scheduled throughout cities around this country all weekend. We are asking everyone to remember we are still dealing with a pandemic. Be cautious and be smart.
