‘Die-in,’ arrests at Barclays Center as Prince William and Kate attend Nets game
Eric Garner ‘Royal Shut Down’ ties up traffic, mall
Inside Barclays Center on Monday night, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, rapper Jay Z and Beyonce enjoyed a game of basketball between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Outside the arena, hundreds of protesters chanted “I can’t breathe” and “Shut it down!” as they disrupted traffic and collapsed onto the cold plaza for a giant die-in.
As a phalanx of police officers gazed ahead impassively, some of the protesters called them “murderers” and “KKK.” Others made a distinction between “good cops” and “bad cops.”
