I suspect this guy let his neutrality slip away. On the whole, that's twice it's happened in about 300 protests that I can recall in DC. Not a bad average at all.

Was the other time in Nov. 03 when the FPS officer commanded us to leave the public sidewalk across from Constitution Hall during the FReep of Algore's MoveOn speech? We told him that the two Secret Service bike officers had said that we were fine about ten minutes before the FPS guy tried to get us to move. FPS guy said he would contact his superior, but was clearly mad that we stayed.

OK, that makes three, not two bad experiences. But 2/3rds were FPS guys. And we pretty much never encounter FPS. Makes you wonder how professional they are overall.

Think I'll ask an MPD, USSS(UD) or USCP officer about FPS in general next opportunity I get.
