Police released surveillance footage of the Feb. 16 incident, which occurred in a building located between Metropolitan Avenue and Purdy Street.

There were no reported injuries.

[Those identifiers will surely narrow the field! I seem to recall mass rallies around the country three years ago, in support of black felons dressed that way.]
