was followed down a sidewalk by 2-3 cops in riot gear armed with nightsticks but they didn't speed up to try to catch us. Earlier that day some protestors detected an infiltrator blending into the crowd nearby, possibly COINTELPRO, and pulled his long-hair wig off! The crowd roared and the infiltrator quickly ran away.
