re: #283 Bloodnok

The DC Fire Department is a city agency in perhaps the most heavily Democratic city in the country. I’m not aware that they make this sort of crowd estimate for political demonstrations that occur primarily on Federal land over which they have no jurisdiction. Does anyone know of other examples of their making estimates of this nature, or is this a one-off by some political appointee?

Tell me 1.5-2 million and that seems awfully high. Tell me 50-60 thousand and that seems low. The crowd picture from the Daily Mail appears to show more (to my admittedly untrained eye) than that.

Is anyone aware of any aerial photos of the demonstration? (Feel free to minus me, Sharmutta, but I assure you that I am not a “Paulian”, Ron or otherwise.)
