The inscription Black Lives Matter near the trump tower provoked clashes

The giant inscription Black Lives Matter (“Black Lives Matter”), made in yellow colors, appeared on Fifth Avenue roadway July 9th. Just two days later, on July 11, it became a place of confrontation between the Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter (“All Lives Matter”), which arose as a response to the movement of the former.

Dozens of protesters gathered around Trump Tower. When members of one of the groups raised several flags, including the flag with the inscription Thin Blue Line (“Thin Blue Line” - a phrase and symbol used by law enforcement agencies in many countries of the world), one of the protesters ran up and grabbed the flagpole, trying to take it away . This action almost led to a fight, as can be seen from the video.

"Do you feel big and proud about this?" - Someone asked the guy who was trying to take away the flag with the inscription Thin Blue Line, and he replied: "Yes."

One woman screamed Fk ​​you, speaking to Black Lives Matter. She also deliberately coughed without covering her mouth, apparently in order to frighten her rivals during the coronavirus pandemic.

Another woman in a All Lives Matter T-shirt and a Make America Great Again red cap posed for the photographer, kneeling and raising her fist in the air — a gesture against police brutality and inequality. Typically, this sign is used by participants in the Black Lives Matter movement.

The two protester groups then exchanged insults, after which the All Lives Matter protesters began chanting USA and Commie scum - a highly offensive term aimed at people who have communist beliefs or are communists - to drown out the slogans shouted by members of the BLM movement. At the same time, each side showed each other the middle finger.

Anti-BLM protesters included the Proud Boys (a far-right neo-fascist organization that only accepts men and encourages and participates in political violence).

On the same day, rival groups clashed in Brooklyn and Queens.
