Thousands of people marched in Manhattan Saturday to protest the killing of unarmed black men by police officers – a demonstration marred by sporadic clashes with police. NYPD officers were swarmed by protesters in a knock-down, drag-out brawl on the Brooklyn Bridge that left two police lieutenants hospitalized and a 29-year-old man arrested on felony charges for assaulting the two officers.
