Thousands of protesters stream back toward Brooklyn after 'tense' bridge standoff
After a standoff lasting more than an hour, at least 1,000 protesters turned back to Brooklyn after being denied entry to Manhattan by NYPD.
Some of the protesters had tried to negotiate with police in order to be let through. Two said they felt tensions were high.
“This seems very tense. They’re on defense instead of support," Vanessa, 27, said.
Police said other side of the bridge is open, and protesters can get off there

The protesters, out after New York City's curfew, could be seen streaming back across the bridge, a 1-mile walk, with their hands up. After a brief standoff on the Brooklyn side, protesters were allowed into the borough.

Commie anarchists completely outsmarted. Hilarious!
