Footage Gives Aerial View of Barclays Center Protests

Protesters demonstrating against the police killing of George Floyd gathered at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on the evening of May 29, video taken from a building nearby shows.

Footage taken on the ground showed a heavy law enforcement presence. Phalanxes of New York Police Department officers, some on bicycles, could be seen in several locations. Authorities had set up metal barriers in front of the Barclays Center.
