Today starting at around 5pm, hundreds of people gathered for a Black Lives Matter protest in the wake of the incidents of the week. The protest was planned prior to the killing of the police officers in Dallas. I have to say that I am incredibly proud of the way the protestors, police, general public, and even the media !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The protestors where peaceful and, apart from holding up traffic for a few minutes once or twice, law abiding. Police where out in force with everyone’s safety and well-being in mind. They allowed for some movement through the streets by both cars and protestors, and some where seen walking through the crowds blowing bubbles!

I know not everyone may agree with this particular movement (I’ll let you judge from my video whether or not I do) but it’s hard to imagine a protest of this nature going any more smoothly than this.

Good to see it all civilized. There should be kids at every protest to keep people from looting and flipping cars and -God forbid - shooting. Like that scene in To Kill A Mockingbird...

It’s an interesting time to be in the USA now.

Not as bad as 1968. But bad.

It seems like the communication and feelings between the police on scene and the protesters were good, despite what the nature of the event and the occurrences this week might make you think.

That’s one way of putting it.

Bringing kids to these is the height of irresponsibility, and does nothing to minimize the violence. Every “kill the pigs!” rally that turns violent has some woman trying to drag her toddler out of the way of the mob like it’s a surprising outcome.
