Info from a friend who was at the DC protest yesterday.

“Nice protest of 750 people at Capitol at 6pm. Trump swarming city with feds including Federal protective service, FBI, DEA, DOJ police, park service, secret service, many national guards, DHS, Capitol police. 4000 reached white house by 6:30. Thousands stayed after curfew. DC cops left us alone. Cops stopped me on way home thru gtown which had heavy police presence. A ghost town. People still very angry. Lots of masks. No social distancing. Covid spike certain to come.”

He was one of the people at the mock body bag demonstration in front of the White House. He’s out demonstrating pretty much daily. Said the crowd at the Capital yesterday was much more diverse than the group at the White House.
