Thousands of New Yorkers marched in the rain today, which would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. This continues a week of protests against systemic racism in response to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed by Minneapolis police on Memorial Day.
At one point, two conductors on a passing J train blared their horns. A roar went up in the crowd. Both conductors stuck their fists out the window.
The full march took over 12 minutes to wind its way past me. It took so long, in fact, the battery on my phone died near the tail end of the demonstration. In the final seconds, you can just make out the phalanx of police cars that typically trail these protests.
If you thought the protests would lose steam or wind down, there are many thousands of wet Brooklynites right now arguing against you with their feet. And the weekend is only beginning.
