No Kings

Today while the President held a military parade in honor of his birthday over two thousand communities protested the absurd display. St. Louis was absolutely one of them with many protests in the region. I chose to go downtown, because I may be one of the very few St. Louisans kind of crushing on downtown.

The police protected the protest route, and dynamically even—following behind or blocking off intersections as needed. In my experience of St. Louis protests, while this wasn’t a first it felt to me the most cooperative and the most intentionally non-combative I’ve seen. Zero riot gear, for example.
