NYC: 3 Activists Attacked by Men Chanting Pro-Trump, Pro-Police Slogans
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York City, three activists were physically attacked by a group of
men chanting pro-Trump and pro-police slogans, as the three activists
were leaving a political art space Saturday night. Witnesses say the
attackers yelled anti-gay slurs and called the activists "communists."
It appears to have been targeted, as the men were waiting in a nearby
bar for the group to leave the party. Photos taken after the attack show
the activists sustained bruises to their bodies and faces.
