Скачать или смотреть 100+ Activists arrested protesting Federal Reserve in New York City over climate policy

Over a hundred climate protesters were arrested Monday morning while blockading the entrances to the New York Federal Reserve.

The New York Police Department quickly issued a warning over a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) and began arresting activists one by one.

"We need clean air, not another billionaire!" they chanted while refusing to leave. "Tax the motherf***ing rich!"

They demand the Fed stop supporting banks invested in fossil fuels.

"Arrest the real criminals!" they chanted as arrests began. "Arrest the climate criminals!"

"No oil, no gas!" the activists chanted as they were arrested by NYPD's "Disorder Control Unit" and "Strategic Response Group" outside the New York Federal Reserve.

"Fossil fuels can kiss my a**!"

"If you arrest one of us, a hundred more will come!" chanted the climate activists as NYPD zip-tie handcuffed and took away the last of them outside the New York Federal Reserve.

114 were reportedly arrested.

"End fossil finance, Fed, end fossil finance!" chanted a couple of the activists who had just been arrested outside the Fed before being led into a police vehicle.

"This is an emergency," one explained, before describing a "one for one" policy they'd like where for every dollar invested in fossil fuel infrastructure, one dollar is set aside for future bailouts when "society has crumbled because of fossil fuels."

An Indigenous activist drummed in support of them.
