WASHINGTON - Protesters are expected to gather in Washington for a huge demonstration on Saturday, its police chief said, as U.S. street marches over the killing of a black man in custody enter a 12th day and authorities move to rein in policing tactics.
Some activists on social media have called for a million people to attend a protest in the capital.
“We have a lot of public, open source information to suggest that the event on this upcoming Saturday may be one of the largest we’ve ever had in the city,” Washington DC Police Chief Peter Newsham told local media, adding that much of the city center would be closed to traffic from early in the day.
Newsham did not give a crowd estimate. Local media has predicted tens of thousands of attendees.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has sparred with U.S. President Donald Trump over his sometimes heavy-handed response to the rallies and marches in the nation’s capital, had the slogan “Black Lives Matter” painted in massive yellow letters on a street leading to the White House.
After nightfall, Bowser had light projections spelling out the words beamed onto nearby buildings, which she said on Twitter was a “night light” aimed at Trump.

This mayor needs to be taken to the shed
What’s the weather going to be like? Praying it pours on these idiots.
Fingers crossed:
Mixed clouds and sun this morning. Scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon. High 91F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
They want the rioters/thugs to burn down the White House and then claim it’s the “...will of the people.”
I was watching the night they set the church on fire. I thought they wanted to storm the White House. I hope our president and the White House will be protected today.
I wish 10,000 bikers were on the way.
<rein in police”?
Where are the bikers for Trump?
“I thought they wanted to storm the White House. I hope our president and the White House will be protected today.”
Chinese communists were there egging on American communists to assault the WH:

I’ll be right over with my pressure washer!
Hot and humid, upper 80’s.
From a strategic viewpoint, China should invade Taiwan while their stooges attack the White House.
Sadly, it is real. But just think about all the dirty shoes and tires and oil leaks all over the road soon.
“ U.S. street marches over the killing of a black man in custody..”
None of this has anything to do with that.
Just erase the “V” to see the truth.
Bowser asked for troops to be withdrawn. Trump needs to announce that troops will guard Federal buildings but no troops will be used to guard residences, or commercial 3stablishments, at the request of the Mayor.
Yes!
Black Lies Matter.
Hey Freepers, wish me luck, I just flew in to South Dakota from NY. I have a job interview on Monday.
Currently Escaping from New York!
Nice. Good luck.
