Oakland
5:30 p.m.
While Medvedev spoke in the Cathedral, attention shifted over to Schenley Plaza. On a grey evening with a sky that continuously threatened rain, a small contingency of students and advocacy groups congregated.
Save Darfur groups.
S.W.A.T. teams were brought in to secure the area around Phipps Conservatory, the site of a working dinner scheduled for the heads of state on the first evening of the summit. Arriving in red Port Authority buses (marked "Special"... we laughed at that a little-- the great and powerful S.W.A.T. team arrived on the special bus!), the police got off the buses and marched en masse toward Schenley Park.
Just to give everyone an idea of how many S.W.A.T. guys there were...
The march to Schenley Park
The perimeter.
