"Meh. They show up because they are sent." -fluffy
"it looks like the police have put the barrycades back up." -Lauren
This is the point where one might say, the police acted stupidly.
I don't suppose we'll get to see the day end with a bunch of misguided uniforms, overwhelmed by sheer numbers, non-violently disarmed and zip-tied to their own barrycades while citizens proceed exercising their God-given right to peacefully assemble; but it would be pleasant.
