US Elections 2016
Protests are taking place coast to coast, with demonstrations reported in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, DC, Austin, Boston and Chicago. The large crowds have mostly remained peaceful.

NEW YORK CITY
The New York City demonstrators, who appear to generally be younger voters of all races, made their way to Trump Tower. Along the way, "Not my president" and "F*** Trump" chants were heard, as were calls against excessive use of force by police, as people shouted, “from Ferguson to NYC, end police brutality.”

At 14th and Broadway in New York City, a video was projected onto a wall, showing Trump with the words "narcissist," "conman" and "1%er."

The issue of abortion was also raised, with women calling out, "my body, my choice!" and men responding, "her body, her choice!"

A flag burning was witnessed in front of Trump Tower in New York City.

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) has started using Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) to force the protesters to disperse. Protesters are in the process of trying to walk up to Trump Tower on 5th Avenue and 57th Street from 14th Street Union Square.

The protests have shut down Manhattan’s 5th Avenue while the protesters make their way uptown towards Trump Tower.

Protesters in New York City revived an old favorite attack on Trump's hands which emerged during his road to the presidency. They joined in chants of “can’t build a wall, hands too small!”

A scuffle during the NYC protests was quashed when protesters removed the agitator while others chanted, “peaceful protest!”

The agitator allegedly threw glass bottles at police officers when he was grabbed by peaceful protesters and brought to the police. NYPD allegedly responded with "high force," according to one protester who claimed that police then pushed a security gate into the protesters, forcing them into each other.

While the NYPD has not released a number, there are reports on social media of as many as 16 arrests.

According to protesters at the scene, streets have been blocked off by police, forcing latecomers to walk about half a mile (0.8 km) from the nearest subway station.

WASHINGTON, DC
RT's Alexander Rubinstein caught video of a march in Washington, DC. At the Trump International Hotel in DC, protesters splattered the outside walls with blue paint.

‘Not Our President’: Protests Spread After Donald Trump’s Election

Similar protests happened in several cities across the country, including Boston, Chicago, Seattle and Washington, and at college campuses in California, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

In New York, the protests started in separate waves from Union Square and Columbus Circle and snaked their way through Midtown.

The protesters chanted “Not our president” and “New York hates Trump” and carried signs that said, among other things, “Dump Trump.” Restaurant workers in their uniforms briefly left their posts to cheer on the demonstrators.

The demonstrations, which appeared to be largely peaceful, forced streets to be closed, snarled traffic and drew a large police presence.

Protesters gathered outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue near 56th Street, where the president-elect lives. Loaded dump trucks lined Fifth Avenue for two blocks outside the tower as a form of protection.

Emanuel Perez, 25, of the Bronx, who works at a restaurant in Manhattan and grew up in Guerrero, Mexico, was among the many Latinos in the crowd.

“I came here because people came out to protest the racism that he’s promoting,” he said in Spanish, referring to Mr. Trump. “I’m not scared for myself personally. What I’m worried about is how many children are going to be separated from their families. It will not be just one. It will be thousands of families.”

Protesters with umbrellas beat a piñata of Mr. Trump, which quickly lost a leg, outside the building.

The Police Department said on Wednesday night that 15 protesters had been arrested.

Bianca Rivera, 25, of East Harlem, described Mr. Trump’s election as something that was “not supposed to happen.”

“We’re living in a country that’s supposed to be united, a melting pot,” she said. “It’s exposing all these underground racists and sexists.”

Elsewhere in the country, college students gathered in spontaneous marches and asked university leaders to schedule meetings to reflect on the results.

After Mr. Trump’s victory speech, more than 2,000 students at the University of California, Los Angeles, marched through the streets of the campus’s Westwood neighborhood.

There were similar protests at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles; University of California campuses in Berkeley, San Diego and Santa Barbara; Temple University, in Philadelphia; and the University of Massachusetts.

High school students also walked out of classes in protest in several cities.

As U.C.L.A. students made their way to classes on Wednesday, they talked about how to make sense of an outcome that had seemed impossible a day earlier.

“I’m more than a little nervous about the future,” said Blanca Torres, a sophomore anthropology major. “We all want to have conversations with each other, to figure out how to move forward. There’s a whole new reality out there for us now.”

Chuy Fernandez, a fifth-year economics student, said he was eager to air his unease with his peers.

“I’m feeling sad with this huge sense of uncertainty,” Mr. Fernandez said. The son of a Mexican immigrant, he said it was difficult not to take the outcome personally.

“We’re all just kind of waiting for a ticking time bomb, like looking around and thinking who will be deported,” he said. “That’s the exact opposite of what most of us thought would happen.”

USA is never meant to be multi racial. It is a country build on living space for white man and black as slave for them. Others are extra.

How naive Mr Perez is. :lol:

They can protest all they want.

That's certainly well within their rights as American citizens (except of course if any illegal non citizens are protesting) it won't change the outlook of the election for them.

For Better or Worse, Donald J Trump is the next president of the United States.
