How Big Was the Crowd? I just received this from a retired SF Officer I know well. X (name deleted) and I went up to the 912 Protest in DC on Saturday. Don't believe the State-run press and their references to the 'tens of thousands' headcount reports. The Capitol Police maintained a bulletin board at an information center at the entrance to the Capitol stairs. Their noontime crowd estimate showed 1.25 - 1.5 million people.
