USA: Anti-police brutality activists flood NYC's streets

Hundreds of demonstrators marched through the streets of NYC, Saturday, to condemn police brutality, as part of the "Rise Up October" movement. The participants carried placards against the police violence, as well as photos of the victims. The director Quentin Tarantino and the philosopher Cornel West addressed the activists before the march, condemning police brutality. West decried white supremacy, and called the activists to participate in the "caravan of love." The march, under the #RiseUpOctober slogan, has been called by the Stop Mass Incarceration Network to "bring the reality of police terror and mass incarceration directly to the people," while exposing the "racially-biased" practices of the justice system in the US. An increase in unlawful arrests and the killing of black people in recent years has sparked campaigns against police brutality and racial profiling in the US, including the prominent ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.
