New York City community activist Tony Herbert told “Fox & Friends” on Thursday that he participated in a march the day before that turned violent against New York Police Department (NYPD) officers, calling it “disheartening.”“Our March wasn't a protest,” Herbert said. The NYPD announced that at least three officers suffered serious injuries after someone swung a long object at the officers while they were placing someone under arrest. One officer suffered a broken eye socket, NYPD Lt. John Grimpel told Fox News. This past weekend alone, there were 28 shooting incidents and 35 victims across the city’s five boroughs, compared to just five incidents and six victims during the same Friday-to-Sunday period last year, the NYPD told Fox News.
