Philly Police report that there were more than 15 assorted demonstrations here in Philly yesterday.

About 5,500 demonstrators, many of which moved around the cities to multiple protests, so the total is likely far less.

One protest that resulted in citations, 54 people (32 men and 22 women) cited for disorderly conduct. Those protesters were allegedly climbing fences trying to get into the secure zone.

So much for the '8 million protesters' that some predicted.

I have a couple of Bernie friends here that attended several of these protests. Most of these protests had nothing to do with Bernie.
