Description of Pictures: Notes:
August 2: The BLACK LIVES MATTER letters on the street had been redone. The riot fencing around Lafayette Park was partly reopened as was the Pennsylvania Avenue street by 15th Street (which had been closed for construction since before the crisis).
August 17: The DEFUND THE POLICE letters, which were not city-sponsored, have been removed.
August 26: Black Lives Matter banners now hang from street signs around the plaza.

Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. FLOYDW_200708_018.JPG: Yes, you can report in short pants.
2. FLOYDW_200708_048.JPG: Voice of America doing her own recording as well.
3. FLOYDW_200708_073.JPG: Earl's First Amendment Grill [This used to be in front of St. John's but was moved here when everyone was thrown out of there.]
4. FLOYDW_200708_085.JPG: Free snacks and such
5. FLOYDW_200708_108.JPG: M Due to First Amendment demonstration activity, buses
6. FLOYDW_200708_113.JPG: to Federal Triangle detour on K St NW at 16th St resuming
7. FLOYDW_200708_114.JPG: I can't breathe. They won't understand until it happens to their own!
8. FLOYDW_200713_17.JPG: Totally empty street.
9. FLOYDW_200713_36.JPG: Still plenty of free water.
10. FLOYDW_200713_40.JPG: Black Street Vendors Matter
11. FLOYDW_200720_18.JPG: Notice the yellow letters on the pavement have become very dull. The larger BLACK LIVES MATTER letters held up better than the DEFUND THE POLICE portion. The former would be redone a few weeks later and the latter would be painted over.
12. FLOYDW_200802_001.JPG: Vote Trump Out Nov. 3rd
13. FLOYDW_200802_009.JPG: The riot fencing around Lafayette Park was partly reopened as was the Pennsylvania Avenue street by 15th Street (which had been closed for construction since before the crisis).
14. FLOYDW_200802_022.JPG: Crazy Muslim guy yelling at crazy Christian guy
15. FLOYDW_200802_027.JPG: The BLACK LIVES MATTER letters on the street had been redone.
16. FLOYDW_200802_079.JPG: The DEFUND THE POLICE names were degrading.
17. FLOYDW_200802_088.JPG: Justice for the millions of Congolese killed! D.R. Congo Justice for the +8,000,000 Congolese killed systematically! @MappingReport needs to be implemented
18. FLOYDW_200802_091.JPG: Compare the worn out DEFUND THE POLICE with the redone BLACK LIVES MATTER
19. FLOYDW_200817_01.JPG: They painted over the "Defund the Police" part of the piece. That hadn't been done by the city.
20. FLOYDW_200826_08.JPG: Biden has to earn my vote
21. FLOYDW_200826_11.JPG: DowntownDC Black Lives Matter Plaza
22. FLOYDW_200826_18.JPG: Troy Robinson Asshams Pharaoh Manley Felix Kumi Keith Harrison McLeod Junior Prosper Lamontez Jones Paterson Brown Dominic Hutchinson Anthony Ashford Alonzo Smith Tyree Crawford India Kager and countless others... #SayTheirNames Victor Manuel Larosa Jonathan Sanders Freddie Blue Joseph Mann Salvado Ellswood Sandra Bland Albert Joseph Davis Darrius Stewart Billy Ray Davis Samuel Dubose Michael Sabbie Brian Keith Day Christian Taylor and countless others... #SayTheirNames
23. FLOYDW_200828_10.JPG: There was a small group of people talking religion. They were part of the Walk the Walk 2020 group that had walked maybe 150 miles from Charlottesville to get there. Their website ( https://walkthewalk2020.us/ ) mentions that they planned on their rally at Lafayette Park to run from 10am-11am -- I guess they weren't planning to do the main rally (11am - 1pm) at all.
24. FLOYDW_200829_16.JPG: I couldn't understand why the shellfish was in the scene as his ear. Then you got in close and saw it was a snake's open mouth.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11 and then the BLM protests started followed by the child president trying to steal the election in November. Trump's handling of the pandemic has been a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and increasing the deaths here. As the chant goes -- Hey, hey, POTUS-A; how many folks did you kill today? Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
