Some of the crowd has split off to march in various directions.

They walk with the protesters. They talk about what is happening. They stop and interview people.
They are doing a great job!! Plus, they are dealing with all the noise.

I feel sorry for any agitator that tries anything, well, not really, they'll be "urged" to leave and respectfully escorted out.
