"NYPD Faces Pro-Palestine Protests in Brooklyn, Multiple Arrests Made"

The NYPD arrested 19 people during a pro-Palestine protest in Brooklyn's Bay Ridge neighborhood, home to New York City's largest Arab community. The protest, organized by Within Our Lifetime, aimed to call for a ceasefire following the recent escalation of violence in and around Gaza. While the event was mostly peaceful, some demonstrators threw eggs and bottles at officers. Videos posted on social media show police officers punching and shoving protesters. The NYPD stated that a permit was not obtained for the protest and that officers were trying to regain order. This is the latest in a series of arrests related to protests in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
