BROOKLYN, NY - May 29, 2020: Nikki Batista, 32, from Brooklyn. She tells Vice News: "I wanted to be here because all of us are struggling with what to do in a universal way. While we try to figure it out on a larger scale, the least we can do is come out and support in outrage. This is unacceptable. We are willing to risk our lives in a pandemic to let you know that this is all unacceptable." People gather in front of Barclay's Center in Brooklyn New York for Justice for Floyd protest organized by the group Freedome Arts Movement. The protest began with a vigil at 6pm and grew more tense as the NYPD began using pepper spray to keep protestors behind barricades and then arresting people for unlawful assembly.
