Ferguson inspires NYC protests

“Hands up, don’t shop!” A Ferguson inspired protest organized by The Rockaway Youth Task Force and Million Hoodies Movement for Justice marched against Black Friday in NYC on Nov. 28, 2014. A few arrests were made, but I didn’t see them, nor do they really have to do with the story, as the vast majority of these protestors were peaceful and responsible (despite walking through traffic occasionally). The group of around 1,000 walked through Times Square and around the Macy’s department store area on 34th st.
