Large police presence at pro-Palestinian protest in front of Ametek Rotron in Woodstock

About 16 demonstrators blocked the main entrance of Ametek Rotron to protest the company’s manufacture of parts for the defense industry. A banner suggests that this is contributing to genocide in Gaza. They’ve been there since about 6 a.m

At least a dozen officers from the New York State Police, the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office and the Woodstock Police Department stand in a line along the entrance road.

A man seeking signatures for Jill Stein’s presidential bid was turned away by Woodstock Police Chief Clayton Keefe.
