snarpIt was very small - maybe five people when we got there. I warned a guy Dad was talking to not to let him hold a sign, because he was the 1%. (No, though we were on our way to a law office probably populated by several such.)
I asked a woman how things were going, and if the police had bothered them. She said no, "they're doing their own protest later if you want to come see."
We passed by again after our conference with the 1%, and they were, along with the firefighters. It appeared to be union-organized, and was relatively big and tidy - maybe forty people, matching t-shirts for everyone. I think it was about funding cuts, but I'm not actually sure what the specifics were - I haven't located any news coverage of this.
I kind of feel like there should be some? I also suspect that there must have been at least one other police union protest coinciding with an Occupation by now. Lexington is, after all, our nation's most sedentary city! Not often the first past the goal. Yet when I search for "occupy" and "police" on google news, all I see is stuff with the word "clash" or "confrontation" in it.
It gave me the odd impression that, perhaps, some of our nation's news reporting might be edited to keep it in line with a specific narrative. Surely not, though.
