And they did a very good job of it, too. Of course, seeing the ring of motorcycle cops and the inner ring of cops with billy clubs out (not to mention the motorcades) I'm shocked any people were let in the city limits.
When I drove by the Chinese Embassy on the way home today, the street parking was nixed, a lone NBC news van across Geary by the hotel and not a soul to be seen protesting. Usually there is someone chained to one of the Chinese Lions, on any given day.
Me, I'm boycotting the Olympics because NBC will be covering it again. Call me sentimental, but I still miss ABC Wide World of Sports and Jim McKay.
