I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.
