Some observations about this protest:
- Very light presence of uniformed police, (no accounting for UCs however)
- March took only one side of the street, which allowed for more visability and contact with the public.
- Crowd was diverse, noticeably more than past Hollywood protests.
- No reports of incidences with police or arrests.
- The protest was well covered on local TV news channels.
- The bike contingent was a good idea.
- The rally had some really fun Punk bands and people were dancing in the street.
Despite the urgency of the reasons for the protest, the event was positive and peaceful.
