That's a lot of people, but millions? I don't think so.

Spoiler

Fucking Al Sharpton

Yea it's crazy in NY. Traffic is being affected all the way out by my job (23rd and 8th).

 

[InfiniteBento]

This is incredible. I'm really proud of people going out there and using their voice instead of being silent about this.

This shit needs to change.

 

[Slayven]

Wait until the police union letters monday

 

[Volimar]

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Amazing.

"I'D ALSO LIKE SOME ICE!"

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

This is much more nice to hear after so much dumb shit in the news these past weeks regarding police and other canned diet racist statements.

Its only a matter of time.

 

[RP912]

Excellent. Simply excellent.

 

[Volimar]

"I'D ALSO LIKE SOME ICE!"

A real entrepreneur would be selling snow cones under that sign.

 

[Arcteryx]

All that overtime pay...

 

[GK86]

6th Ave. This looks crazy.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Was expecting more from the thread title. This is tens of thousands at best.

Not a bad turnout though all things considered.

 

[Frog-fu]

This is really great. I hope something good will come from this.

Millions March is the name of the protest...

30+ blocks deep, ~60,000 protestors according to Twitter. This is beautiful.

Millions March is the name of the protest...

Had to come in and take their shots, that's all.

 

[maxcriden]

I'm glad that people are protesting, but I'm very skeptical that it will foment any serious change.

 

[HylianTom]

This is really great. I hope something good will come from this.

It really is awe-inspiring. I marched last week and kinda wish I were off today to jump back out there.
I also hope these folks, y'know, maybe remember to perhaps vote..

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

So happy this is going on! I wish I was in NYC right now to march alongside of them!

 

[Christopher]

All that overtime pay...

Seriously.

They can keep it Id rather be home...

 

[Foffy]

I'm glad that people are protesting, but I'm very skeptical that it will foment any serious change.

It will be gridlocked by those in office, like any sincere desire the people have wanted in the last few years. Fuck, we literally just passed a budget that allows more corporate influence at the expense to citizen influence.

I feel this may possible be another Occupy movement or the issue of school shootings being nearly a weekly thing: it addresses and acknowledge the serious insoluble ills of our society, but those ills simply stay as insoluble. Those at the top - the ones with ascribed control and authority in our social game - really don't care.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Wow...that must be it.

"Not a bad turnout though all things considered." guess that was a shot too.

 

[Advocatus Diaboli]

Was at the DC protests today - and I was elated by the organization of the march and how purposefully charged the crowd was. I stood hand in hand with people of all colors, and ethnicities. The young and old were represented. We were thousands strong, too. I can only hope that Congress listens; there were several incredibly powerful speakers, as well as a list of reform demands. Concrete ones. I was impressed, especially by the student government president from Howard University.

As a former prosecutor, I couldn't NOT attend the march; we must hold our officers (and district attorneys!) accountable.

Amazing.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

How did I miss this was happening today?

Agreed. Thanks for articulating this much better than I could.

 

[El Odio]

Incredible. Good on everyone out there showing their support and showing that this isn't an issue that's going to just blow over so quickly.

Those posters are nicely designed...

[CountAntonius]

Awesome sight.

 

[BravesCountry]

Looks like the march on Helms Deep outside my window
I'll see if I can upload a video

 

[Curler]

Police have part of SF blocked off for protestors too. Much smaller scale though.

[PaulExcellent]

fox news said only a few hundred tho so this is like, not an accurate representation of the feelings of these people

like, I don't think a few protesters is a good enough sample to draw conclusions about the membership of the broader movement

 

[The Cool One]

this is amazing.
anyones local new outside of the marching cities report on this

This is inspiring to see. I only wish I was able to march with them.

 

[Stet]

Amazing images. Good for them.

[Cow Mengde]

Canada has a problem with police violence or is this moral support?

I'm reading this while watching breaking bad season 3. Jesse's all like, I'm breaking ice, what does it look like?

 

[Derwind]

Moral support mostly. Plus most people have family in the states, so they're not completely seperated from the issue. I for instance have a lot of family all over the states, from Tulsa to Columbus to Buffalo.
