Meanwhile, NBC News’ Morgan Chesky was with another group of demonstrators near the precinct when a large group of police officers suddenly began chasing them and a flashbang went off near the correspondent and sent him and everybody else around him moving.With police closing in on the fleeing demonstrators, one woman could be heard yelling “Don’t shoot” as more flash bangs went off.
