Jillian Jorgensen on Twitter: "Remarkable to see protesters knocking down security barriers in DC being met with so many fewer police (at least that I can see on videos posted from the scene) than I saw at the peaceful marches I covered in NYC this summer."

  (Full disclosure I didn’t cover many protests this summer but the couple I did were peaceful and had many, many police on hand. Frankly there were more cops, including lines of mounted officers, in Times Square on NYE.)

  Metro DC has very small number of officers: ~3,841 NYPD = ~36,000 So, for large-scale protests, MPD very often borrows personnel. (MD, VA). They have protocols for sharing personnel/equipment etc. Doesn't appear this happened for today.

  I think that has more to to do with the fact that the first protest in the city in May. A group of 80 cops got over run by 2k protestors who tried to storm the Barclay Center and the 88 Pct triggering a mobilization not seen since 9/11.
