There was a shorter female cop that was helping block the groups movement & it wasn't working so well..The look on her face as she shouted back to the chanters was pure terror.

Looked like someone's really nice 40yr old aunt that just happened to have a cop job & just happened to have been scheduled for work tonight.
Appears she'd been a better protestor than a cop.
Some crazy stuff!

Anxious to hear of their stories.
