Generally speaking, the police in areas that we found ourselves were calm and courteous. When Sunny got chased off the wall after taking the photo a few frames back, they were nice about it. The wall attracted police attention as others climbed up on it after Sunny did. One police officer later said to a Eve Brown-Waite (after she thanked them for being courteous) - "Thank you for not hurting us." The police seemed amazed at the magnitude of the crowds. One police officer said to another - "We've lost control of the streets."
