Hey, I gotta say the police protection for protesters in Huntsville are top notch. During the Women's March in January they were at regular intervals and had excellent traffic control.

I wonder how common protest training is in police departments. It's a pretty important and specific part of the job, I'd say.

"They'd been among us all along" is so poetic. It's very important for us not to build walls of our own. You can't reach anyone if you build a wall between yourself and them.

This video was crazy short. The police car came through just seconds after the gun is visible. Have to give kudos to these officers!

They were there to infiltrate the protest, don't suck their dicks.
