'The protesters are human beings. They need to be treated with tremendous respect. The police officers are human beings. They need to be treated with tremendous respect,” de Blasio said

"We all better get back to the humanity here," de Blasio said at a briefing."The protesters are human beings. They need to be treated with tremendous respect. The police officers are human beings. They need to be treated with tremendous respect.”

De Blasio said city police showed "tremendous restraint overall" during the weekend's protests, but he said was concerned about video showing two police cruisers lurching into a crowd of demonstrators on a Brooklyn street. He was appointing two city officials to conduct an independent review of how the protests unfolded and how they were handled by the police.

New York City police said 345 people were arrested, 33 officers were injured and 27 police vehicles were damaged. There were no major injuries reported. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said some peaceful demonstrations were "hijacked" by a small number of people with violent intent."We’re going to make sure that everyone has the right to peacefully protest and assemble," Shea said said at a briefing with the mayor.

The governor also said state Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation into actions by NYPD officers will include any protests held Sunday night.
