(13,501 posts)is organized protesting. It should be fine. And if you see skirmishes, then remove your child from that general area. You should be absolutely fine.
But if going to a local protest makes you feel safer, do it.
I'm staying in NYC. Which should be a big one, as well!

(9,974 posts)I occasionally listen to different cities, especially if there is something major going on...
It's broadcastify.com
If you click on "listen" and then "browse" it gives you states to pick from and then counties where you can then pick cities, etc...
Assuming they don't go quiet/use blocked airwaves it may be more informative than the MSM.

(9,974 posts)I just looked at DC and they don't list their police force....just amateur radio repeaters (?). Maybe someone knows of other sites for DC proper, but all the other cities/counties are listed in other states and there will be protests nationwide so it still should be a helpful website.
