Close to 1.5 million people poured onto the National Mall Tuesday, and the biggest police action appeared to be reuniting parents with their lost children, law enforcement officials said.
“We had a crowd stretching from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial and for the most part it was an orderly and festive,” said U.S. Park Police Sergeant Robert LaChance. “We couldn’t have asked for a better day.”
No arrests were made as of Tuesday afternoon, according to D.C., National Park and U.S. Capitol police.
Wow. LAPD should take notice of how its done.
What? First, LAPD doesn’t have the same situation as DC Police on Inauguration Day of a man whose basis is change, hope, and essentially unity. Maybe when something as moving and uniting as that happens in LA, there won’t be arrests. Second, people get arrested, not cops. People in DC didn’t get arrested. Their PD was just reporting that.
