The group Disarm NYPD, which seeks to create no-cop zones in NYC, was protesting at a Brookyn park Wednesday night. A woman supposedly with the group was being chased off by angry counter-protesters who grew even angrier after somebody with Disarm NYPD set fire to an American flag when irony magic happened: The anti-cop demonstrator was protected by police.

The bummer of it all is that you can be pretty sure none of the pinheads who want to create no-cop zones appreciated the irony at all.
