Why are there ten thousand people protesting in new york?

14 At 9: 00 p.m. local time in August, when US President Trump arrived in Lower Manhattan by private jet and drove back to his home in Trump Tower in Midtown, he was waiting downstairs for more than four hours of protests.

At 5: 30 pm, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street in Manhattan, new york, near Trump Tower, tens of thousands of citizens gathered here and shouted the protest slogan "Welcome immigrants! Don't hate, don't be afraid! " "The Klan is not welcome here!" "Donald Trump go away!" "Black people's lives are also important!" "We need a leader, not a chilling tweet!" "Against Trump! Against the Klan! Against fascism! "

The slogan in their hands is anti-racial discrimination. "Against white supremacy!" "no! We refuse to accept a fascist America! " The huge Nazi symbol was marked with a red forbidden sign, and Trump's head was also painted with a Hitler-style moustache. Others simply raised the sign: Please (the President) step down!

The purpose of this demonstration is to protest against the resurgence of white supremacy caused by Trump's racist tendencies. Last Saturday, violent clashes broke out between protesters in white supremacy and those who held a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. A man drove into the protest crowd, killing 1 person and injuring 19 person. A police helicopter in charge of monitoring at the scene crashed, killing two policemen on board.

In view of the tragedy caused by this violent conflict, the protests and demonstrations in new york on the night of 14 were closely controlled and monitored by the new york police. The demonstrators were isolated within four blocks of the intersection and could not walk around at will, so they could only shout and demonstrate in situ. Several blocks along the way are also full of police cars on duty, and Fifth Avenue is also full of heavily armed police.
