Footage from the march, which brought out 100 to 200 demonstrators, showed heavily-armed black protesters marching through the park on Independence Day, leading some on social media to react with worry at what appeared to be a volatile situation as protests across the country have descended into violence.

“Threat. Counter threat. Because threats don’t mean s**t to us. Ya’ll been threatening us since Birmingham,” one man said through a loudspeaker at the event, going on to specifically target right-wing groups such as the Boogaloo Boys and Three Percenters, organizations that have been accused of being extremist militias. 

“I don’t see no white militia, so to the Boogie Boys, the Three Percenters and all the rest of you scared-ass rednecks: we’re here… We’re in your house. Let’s go. NFAC...,” the man continued as others gathered in a military-style marching formation behind him. 

The “NFAC” appears to refer to the name of the group behind the gathering, which is the ‘Not F**king Around Coalition.’
