And it's a huge park.

They were all the way on the other side of the park where there was a children's summer camp.

And so the kids had to be ushered inside so that they didn't see the horses and the tanks rolling in.

And, you know, taking it out of their view.

And so for me, I in the moment, it was I have to get out and find out who's in charge of this.

So it was a no brainer in that sense.

And to talk to them and to tell them, what are you guys doing?

What are you doing?

What's your purpose here?

And it was clearly just a show of force.

There was they had no mission.

They had no goal in mind.

They just came in, marched the horses and the guns through the park and then left.

And threatened people.

There were community-based organizations there attempting to provide health services.

And on the other side of the park, they, at gunpoint, made them take their tables down and leave.

What was the purpose of that?

They were trying to help the people who were in trouble.

But they paraded with the horses and the guns through where the children were.

So, you know, that performance that has been going on in this city, I listened to the president just this morning talk about how he saved the day.
