Not sure where all the money come from to hire all these police. Some are county police and other non-local forces are involved. If I am an Investigative Journalist, I'd find out why. When I got there, they were just moving the lone protester so I'm not sure exactly what he did. The street intersection was blocked and continued to be blocks for hours. I thought it's a pretty poignant counter-point to my earlier "Turn" image.
