DNC After Action Report: How Peaceful Was It?

The hilarity of “Behind Enemy Lines” bragging on Instagram about wanting to fight with police before the chaotic event to now complaining how they were “brutalized” by police because of a fight they started is certainly not lost on me.

The rest of the week was mostly calm for there were still a couple thousand people still protesting outside the the DNC. This time, instead of allowing protesters to get to the fence, the park where they originally gained access to it was blocked off by hundreds of police.


It is something to be said that in order to have a “mostly peaceful” week, there needs to be thousands of police officers being able to do their job in order to keep far-leftists from acting out. Of course, the reason why officers were able to do their jobs is because the powerbrokers in the Democratic Party were in town and they are to be kept safe, average citizens be damned.

Peaceful for we, "mostly peaceful" for thee? 

I had been skeptical all along that there would be enough of a gathering to turn this into Chicago 1968, or even at the level of the milder of the 2020 riots/demonstrations. Convention security has expanded massively in the last 56 years.
