After compiling and analyzing millions of traffic camera images archived by NYC Mesh at streetwatch.live, we can get a sense of what just one day of protesting looks like. But even these videos are just a fraction of all the boroughs, bridges, streets, and parks of NYC. These protests aren't just the short clips shared on twitter or the news. We are all out here, and we will continue to be out here fighting for what is right. Look around you. Black Lives Matter. Defund the Police.

    Thank you for making this, I didn’t save enough footage during the protests and now most of the news outlets have taken down the videos of their coverage…only leaving choice clips. I saw a lot of this myself, on my street here in downtown LA, but my phone video is garbage. If you know of any more sources, be it of honest protest, police officer protest, looting, marches or anything else, please reply to this comment with links. I’m trying to put something together about it all.
  • Thank you for providing proof of work. Very useful and informative. I will be sharing this.

    You should try to look up the Anti War protests in the early 2000s in NYC and San Francisco, they got very huge. I was part of the anti war movement after I got out of the military in 2008 and moved to San Francisco, some of the protests would pack market street all the way from the Ferry Building to Civic Center.
