Police held a line at Sixth and Market. One officer was rude, others struggled to maintain the impassive face of their uniform, a few had the decency to be slightly embarrassed.

Police tactics included sandwiching the demonstrators in on two sides on Market Street, letting us flow out of the mass on the sides, to disburse us. This crowd was not looking for conflict but for peace.
