Peaceful protest pleases chief
At a police security briefing that ended about 3:15 p.m., Dallas police Chief David Kunkle reported that no one had been arrested and no noteworthy offenses had been committed amid the crowd that was widely estimated at 100,000.
Speculation put the crowd at up to 500,000, although police had no comment on that number.
Its been a very good day for the city, Chief Kunkle said. This is a family-oriented group thats come here to demonstrate. No one we saw looked like they were planning to cause any problems.
Chief Kunkle attributed the peaceful nature of the protest to the work of the volunteers and organizers, as well as police efforts to marginalize the small groups of counterprotesters.
Even Im surprised about the nature of the crowd. I think the people have been educated to ignore the other protesters, he said.
Chief Kunkle reiterated his estimate that 550 police and 200 sheriffs officers were on duty. Although no additional backups were called Sunday, supervisors were asking early shift officers to stay a few hours later, and calling the evening shift workers to arrive early.
Police work around the city would not be affected, he said.
Some counterprotesters retreat
Police told counterprotesters that they could protect them only to a point, and offered to escort them out through an underground parking lot. Six people left with police who were carrying shields and wearing helmets and shin pads.
Miles Walters, 16, a sophomore at Richardson High School, said he was scared when people started throwing water bottles and hunkered under a building for protection. I wasnt expecting it to be this bad, he said. Because we take pride in our country they hate us and call us racist.

You clearly need to get out of Chappaqua more.
Here's a suggestion. Spend just one Thursday night of your life in Mount Kisco Town Court, a few minutes from where you live.
You will be amazed how many answers just pop into your head.
I'll see your 48, and raise it to 70 million.
70 million is a nice, big round number, don't you think?
You were born and raised Catholic, but you no longer attend. Have I got that right?
Do you really think that "most" guest workers have this number? What percent? I bet less than 10.
Here's a suggestion: don't quit your day job. Your attempt at humor fell flat.
When they get to 70 million they will vote to take your money.
These demonstrations make it clear that it is essential to start extensive deportations.
Jesus didn't have this BS in mind.
Isn't it amazing how fast the numbers grow as TV cameras appear? Too bad the crowds don't always match the numbers, though.
This is an invasion. Already illegal aliens (all of whom are criminals who have nothing but contempt for our laws) are getting special perks not available to the rest of us. They will be demanding more and more. And those who want to destroy this country gladly support them.
This one was LULAKKK's. They are trying to silence KLIF. Kill LULAKKK by killing their funding.
My wife wanted to go to the farmer's market today. I told her no. It was too close to this stupidity.
I think the 'reporters' forgot some photos...

You might not know this, but there are at least 70 million in Mexico who would come here in a heartbeat if the immigration rules were relaxed. Thats in addition to the 20 or 30 million who are here. If you add it up, 100 million mexican nationals could very significantly influence our elected officials. Our country would go from a population of 300 million to 400 million in an instant.
These perverted illegal aliens - who are still way outnumbers - can only win if the rest of the country surrenders or the traitors have extensively infiltrated the government.
