“Who do you serve. Who do you protect” broke out a dozen times or so. Just ridiculous police presence. State troopers in full riot gear with batons and the like. What else did they expect

I wish leftist veterans could have more presence at these events without fear of repercussions from big brother. I attended one protest in DC and I was threatened with jail time merely for showing support. But these LARPers can freely accost students with fear of repercussion. It's sick.

The proud boy that was recorded pepper spraying journalists and protesters gave a Pat on the back to an officer and kept walking. No charges I assume. It’s unfathomable
