Philly RUST pinned a photo
#scanner Civil Affairs and Traffic Units on location at D&Z as of 3PM
#scanner Civil Affairs Captain Palumbo on scene at D&Z, noting there are a few protestors on location now
#scanner Palumbo once again relying on "his guys and gals" to count the protestors, even though he's on the ground. Palumbo estimates 40, is corrected that it is "still 25"
#scanner Palumbo also noting "no violence or destructive activity at this time"
#scanner Civil Affairs Unit now deciding 40 is a more accurate number
#scanner Palumbo reporting the event is winding down, but they will be keeping eyes on "one other location in Center City, and we'll keep [dispatch] advised"
