Hundreds of white karens protest against Trump's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C.

Sometimes, it's better not to hold a protest at all when this is the best you can get:

According to NPR, which thought this scrum of 200 or so leftist protestors was worthy of an actual news story:
WASHINGTON — Hundreds gathered peacefully in the nation's capital on Saturday afternoon to protest President Trump's attempted takeover of the city's police department and deployment of National Guard units alongside federal agents.
...
Mason Weber of Maryland told NPR he attended the march because he was concerned that the deployment of troops is a "serious ethical and legal breach." "The most concerning thing about it is there's been no check and balance of the systems of power," Weber said. "Congress, if it comes to it, we expect to authorize it for longer."
What do you notice about these protestors?
I see ... white people. They're holding a protest in favor of the status quo, which is to say, out-of-control crime in a city that's 43% black, giving white-bread reasons like 'serious ethical and legal breach.' Easy to do when you live in the D.C. suburbs.
What I don't see at this protest are black people, who bear the brunt of violent crime as victims don't seem to want to come to this protest. Seems they just don't want to get mugged, carjacked or looted any more.
The group itself, though, claims to champion black people.
