This is what professionalism looks like.

The picture may piss a lot of people with claims of white privilege and you would be right but it is the human thing to do. It should be afforded to anyone in distress. The picture shows an asshole piece of garbage insurrectionist being taken care of by those (the US Capitol Police) who he came to harm.

Take away from today's protest.

The speakers that were there were not high profile, and had no unified message.

The press outnumbered the protestors, maybe 150 protestors with a couple hundred press ans citizen journalists making the crowd look bigger than it was.

The cops made a killing. Paying about $150,000 dollars an hour or more, maybe much more in OT to the thousand plus cops here on a weekend. It will be a minimum of 8 hours, but probably more like 12 hours per because of the report time and punch out time.

They forgot their thin blue line flags

They kind of sort of support the blue and are not supportive of the attackers that they are there supporting, or something like that.

They spent no real money, but I am willing to bet the organizer made plenty off the clowns who donated on line.

My favorite comment when asking a counter protester in an Antifa military uniform, me “ I am not familiar with the antifa uniform, are you a private, a captain or an admiral” her response “ yes”. Clearly, Antifa has a strong and well defined leadership structure.
