“My question is. Are the police there to stop Assange or to stop the US government from an armed take over of the Embassy? “
They might watch it happen. One things for sure...they are sitting in what appears to be light armored vehicle -they don’t want to be “collateral damage”.
Looks like Ecuador gave Assauge asylum as it sees him in danger........and that’s why they’re all there......so is the Ecudaor Ambassador.......that’s all I know currently..will read back thread to see folks know here.
