Oh yeah, thing have definitely changed, but the “police” in civilian clothes are FBI infiltrators taking notes on who’s in attendance...ie January 6th rally.Things have changes some. For that in bold, I remember the Tea Party rallies at the state capitol back in 2010 where the first time it occurred, there were uniformed police out in force. However, subsequent rallies saw a heck of a lot fewer uniformed police.
Who knows, maybe some of those that had been "uniformed" before decided to join the rally in their civilian clothes in the later rallies?
