Protesters in Brooklyn march toward the Manhattan Bridge

Around 280 people were arrested that day in New York City, but protests were almost entirely peaceful in Brooklyn. The march ended up on the Manhattan Bridge but was blocked by NYPD at the mouth of the bridge on the Manhattan side.

Protesters, however, eventually were allowed off the bridge after a long standoff.

Almost every major city has seen protests since George Floyd was killed.
