‘This is an exercise in feasibility at this point. There’s nowhere for them to go,” 1 cop approaching to control the crowd was hear telling his partner, according to the report.

The protesters then filed out of the park and were within power of the Met, but dozens of police formed a blockade — standing 2 Cops deep — preventing them from heading north.

“Is that the Met?” 1 protester asked a friend. “Oh no, we were so close.”

The group tried to scope the museum again by turning down East 81st Street but was again stopped by more police barricades at the interview with Madison Avenue. -NY Post
