The Thanksgiving Day Parade was barely under way when about half a dozen protesters were handcuffed Thursday morning after they ignored police officers and tried to march toward the parade route on Sixth Avenue.
“There is no business as usual on Thanksgiving Day because there’s nothing to be thankful for while the cops are killing our children,” said Travis Morales, 62, who massed with about 100 protesters in front of the New York Public Library shortly before the arrests.

Looks like things escalated quickly. Can't some of these people just take a break and let families enjoy a day ? Anyone have a suggestion on how to deal with these barbarians?

As usual these FOOLS will demand to have their voice heard anyway possible. They are endangering themselves and others who want nothing of their agenda.
1). NYPD should just drag them off and jail them for Public Stupidity.
2). Club them down like Baby Harp Seals
3). Charge them for a Parade permit.
4). Ask them what happened to their Al Sharpton parade Balloon
Well barbarians is certainly the right mental capacity for those wishing to continue the pointless drama.

So, no concerns about their Constitutional rights to assemble and express themselves via their Constitutional rights to free speech?
So, the only time the Constitution matters is when we agree with what people are doing?
Why am I not surprised.

Police officers told the protesters they couldn’t turn around and the agitators started growing angry, leading some to start pushing against police barricades. At least 5 people were cuffed.

They do have the right of free speech.
Free speech is talking.. not disturbing the rights of others
They do have the right to assemble, not to impede the assembly of others.
I have used my right of free speech here on ATS, I didn't impede or infringe your rights at all did I. Nor did I block the street in front of your house, throw fake Blood on your elected officials, toss rocks and bottles at cops. or loot and destroy business and public property...

Since when is angry touchy feely protesting protected by our constitution? Should the officers have allowed them to pass through freely? What would that achieve?

I see you're in favor of a Totalitarian Police State then? Let's just forget the US Constitution?
Or does the Constitution just not apply to these folks? Are they not "real America" enough?

When did protestor rights allow them to destroy other people's property and infringe on those people's rights also.

LOL, Yes I'm a supporter of the "Totalitarian Police State" as you call it when these FOOLS pull crap like this and disregard the Constitution.
Police officers need to keep the people safe. And yes when folks are committing criminal acts our laws will be enforced.

So, Americans citizens should check with you to make sure their concerns are not "angry touchy feely" before they exercise their Constitutional rights?
Check.
