'Closures have been lifted': NYPD announces 'zero protest-related arrests' on No Kings day
The official X account for the New York Police Department announced on Saturday that authorities made "zero protest-related arrests" at the local "No Kings" protests.
Some analysts have hailed this weekend's pro-democracy protests as the largest on record, but others, such as political dynasty Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late GOP presidential candidate John McCain, do not understand the point.
One big fear was that in big cities, such protests could result in arrests or even violence.
But in New York that wasn't a problem, according to NYPD News.
"The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted," the account wrote. "We had more than 100,000 people across all five boroughs peacefully exercising their first amendment rights and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests."
