Evidence from photos, video, social-media posts and interviews suggests it was a single group, desperate to ‘turn up the anger’ at otherwise-peaceful protests.

A little over a week ago, a group of people marched down the streets of Manhattan and called for police to be killed. But exactly who cried out for violence has been something of a mystery as New York goes through its most tense moment in more than a decade.

Evidence from photos, videos, social-media posts and interviews suggest that a group—the New York chapter of the Trayvon Martin Organizing Committee, or TMOC—might have been involved. There is no definitive proof that TMOC led the call for dead cops, but there is a web of circumstantial ties with the group at its center.

1. Yep, the vid I saw was about 2 dozen people, maybe 3 dozen. Nothing at all like the genuine protests

But boy did the conservatives on Facebook eat that up!

5. More than 2 or three dozen.

And it seems rather organized.

8. This is the video I speak of:

#t=53

[Boudica the Lyoness]

9. Yes. I know.

More than 24 - 36. I think the people in front of the banner are with them and so are some of the people on the sidewalks - regardless more than 2 -3 dozen.

10. But not very large at all. I wasn't that off in my estimate.

And it's highly unlikely everyone on that block is part of the protest.

Regardless, it's fewer people than occupy an average Target store at any given time. It gets more attention than it deserves because of the stupid chant, not because of its widespread support.

11. In my opinion, they are some nasty fuckers in that march.

Every single one of them.

[arcane1]

13. Agreed!

[juxtaposed]

you are looking for?

[Boudica the Lyoness]

[Boudica the Lyoness]

7. Some on this thread seem to agree with what they are chanting.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

19. I'm sorry but I don't understand

[arcane1]
