When I was last in D.C. (May 1970), Nixon had buses
around the White House to keep out protesters.

It is really painful and sad to see the fencing around the WH.

because it seems to be everywhere, including on the huge doors to the loading dock of our apartment building after the not so peaceful protests a week ago here in Raleigh on Saturday/Sunday nights.

Didn't know that 12 was slang for police.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Thanks for being there. I was there the day the buses surrounded the WH entrance... got my first taste of tear gas that summer.

Some things haven't changed a bit, like police brutality.

Stay safe!
