The New York Daily News reports:
Peaceful demonstrators barred violent looters from breaking into a Brooklyn Target during chaotic protests over the death of George Floyd, video shows.
In the video shot late Saturday, about 10 outnumbered protesters form a line and barricade angry looters from breaking into the Target at the Atlantic Terminal Mall in Downtown Brooklyn.
After a few minutes of heated exchange, the would-be looters abandoned the Target and made their way toward Fort Greene park, according to Andrew Solender, a reporter for Forbes who witnessed the clash.
The clip has 5.5 million views.
