Very different from the previous days, when you could see they were intently watching the people coming and going, and some of them had their batons extended and always at the ready. But like I said previously (I think I said it), they never actually bothered anyone. I never saw anyone get stopped, frisked or asked for ID. It's just that the feeling of being watched wherever you go is unnerving.
