They picked the wrong Target.<\/p>\n

Viral video shows looters trying to smash their way into a Brooklyn Target late Saturday \u2014 just to be stopped by a human wall of protesters.<\/p>\n

\u201cF\u2013k no!\u201d one protester repeatedly screamed, standing in front of the Atlantic Terminal Mall with a lengthy pole held to stop anyone crashing into the store, as seen in video captured by a reporter for Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As other people there looked to the store shaking a can of spray paint, other George Floyd protesters carrying signs joined her \u2014 shouting off the looters as they formed a human chain to block the store\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n

More than a dozen people \u2014 many shouting \u201cno!\u201d \u2014 eventually formed the barricade in the clip seen more than 5 million times.<\/p>\n

The stand-off came as Target announced the temporary closure<\/a> of 175 of its locations across the US during the ongoing protests, Forbes said.<\/p>\n

Those shuttered include 12 in New York, the report said, as the company insisted that the \u201csafety of our team and guests is our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chain had lived up to its name when the Minneapolis store close to where Floyd died Monday was destroyed by looters<\/a> \u2014 with a wheelchair-bound woman the victim of a shocking attack<\/a> outside caught on a separate viral video.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are heartbroken by the death of George Floyd and the pain it is causing communities across the country,\u201d the company said Sunday, announcing that the Minneapolis store would remain boarded up.<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn protesters were widely praised for stopping the looters, with many citing it as proof that those there for peaceful demonstrations were being tarnished by infiltrators.<\/p>\n

One who helped form the chain said they did it because they feared the looters were undercover cops \u201ctrying to set us up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was right there, front-line, explaining to them that we are simply doing a peaceful protest,\u201d the man, identified as David from Brooklyn and wearing a Stars and Stripes waistcoat, told Forbes reporter Andrew Solender<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He insisted they wanted attacks on cops to stop, too, saying, \u201cThat is not the narrative we are painting for our generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want peace, we want unity \u2014 we want to feel safe again in our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re here \u2014 to show America that we\u2019re not afraid to fight back terrorism, racism and anything that oppresses us as brothers and women.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we are all Americans, and that\u2019s how we should stay \u2026 as one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
