According to Sam Sweeney with ABC 7 in Washington DC, Climate Change activists are protesting in the middle of major intersections and shutting them down during today’s UN Climate Change summit:

Shutting down intersections are not peaceful protests.
Thus, police warned protesters they would be arrested…

Sweeney posted one more video but I won’t subject you to that one, as it features the dude with the gay suspenders up close.
