I stopped by the Douglas just before 7pm. It was the top of the 5th. As you can see, the front patio isn’t full. The back is full but hardly raucous. Three innings later (and with the Dodgers still behind), the LAPD declared the Douglas an unlawful assembly and made them turn off their TVs.

I have so much respect for journalists. But it’s been a major failure for more than two decades to understand popular movements. Protests, in particular, seem to be vexing, especially when they stand against cautious coverage (Iraq War, Trump) or are left-leaning. Don’t miss what’s happening now.
