Also, a lot of people of color are there as either put of the organized movement or supporters of the movement, but you would not think this was the case if you based this opinion on the media coverage . The day was beautiful and even the more than 50 police officers that surrounded the small park were on their best behavior. If you have an opportunity to visit the park, then please do so.
