“Martial law in brooklyn and few credible sources reporting it. Wake up journalists, get in there. ‪#martiallaw ‪#riot ‪http://nyti.ms/Z29YQm" said Dan T on Twitter Friday morning.

Jackson Green ?‪@jacksondgreen tweeted, “Everyone should work to raise awareness. Get ‪#brooklynprotest and ‪#brooklynriot trending. Call news stations demanding coverage.”

Russia Today Correspondent Anastasia Churkina spoke with community residents before Thursday’s protests and reported, “Locals say that there will be no calm until justice is seen.”


“People are angry. People are angry because this is not the first time that there’s been killing in the neighborhood, and there never seems to be justice, so I think that’s what we’re unfortunately seeing people reacting to,” community leader Bishop Orlando Findlayter told Churkina.Wednesday, over 40 arrests were made in a march through East Flatbush, where Gray was shot and killed by police on Saturday.
