Protesters leave trail of destruction on streets of Brooklyn

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Downtown Brooklyn late Tuesday, vandalizing NYPD cars, smashing windows, setting fires, and leaving a trail of destruction. The protests were in response to the shooting death of a Philadelphia man by police earlier this week. At least 32 people were arrested.

Five officers suffered minor injuries during the overnight violence in the area around Fort Greene Park after a woman drove her vehicle into officers as they tried to break up a protest.

Nine police vehicles were vandalized.  Video recorded at the scene showed people smashing windows on the vehicles and graffiti covering some of them.

“No justice, no peace," the crowd chanted as demonstrators broke windows of Urban Outfitters and Bank of America on Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill.

"Burn the precinct to the ground, every city, every town!” a group yelled as it marched near Boerum Place and Livingston Street.
