The protest attracted thousands, WPIX-TV said, and was reportedly filled with chants such as “justice now."

But one chorus of voices was caught on camera saying something entirely different: “F*** the police, from New York to Greece!"

Content warning: Strong language.

The clip also shows activist and professor Cornel West — who helped organize the event — and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino standing just feet away from the chanting, but apparently not taking part in it.

Here's West and Tarantino at other points during the day:
