There also was a fife and 2 drums playing like it was 1776. I gave them a flower to thank them. Someone brought a big bunch of flowers to the stage at the beginning of the protest and the speakers encouraged us to "give them to people to say thank you, especially the police". Well, I never got close enough to any police but I did pass the 2 drums and fife so I think they deserved it, too!.
