Though a lot of the media today made much of the number of arrest and or police misconduct during the RNC Protest March I found no evidence of it. I traveled from Union Square to Penn Station against the grain so to speak. Though there was some heckling from Republicans on the sideline it was mild by NY standards. I couldn't resist going to Central Park and joining the thousands of demonstrators there. As you can see the Sheeps Meadow looked like any other Sunday. The only signs of protesters were the ones on there way to the Great Meadow where a great gathering appeared. The mood was calm but there definitely was an underlying tenseness especially as Police officers meandered amongst the throng.
Of special note: I noticed that access to the Central Park Boat House was barricaded, yet the lake was filled with plenty of boaters. Could it be that Convention delegates were given special access to the Lake?
