With their promises of disruption fulfilled and many of their ranks in jail, protesters met again on Wednesday to repeat the fracas. Scattered disruptions popped up throughout the city, all peaceful, and the police entered their third day of double shifts. Officers once again saturated the streets, stopping young groups and leisurely checking identification.

At the Police Administration Building downtown, processing began for previous day's arrests. Outside, about two hundred protesters marched in support of those inside, demanding their release.

The talk among protesters was now of jail solidarity. Many prisoners were refusing to give their names or eat. The marchers around the building maintained a peaceful vigil throughout the day, and even worked out a deal with the police.

They camped at nearby Franklin Park. The city helpfully provided water and portable toilets.

Downpours came late that night, drenching the 24-person bicycle police squads that still snaked through the city. The rain made driving difficult, causing some traffic backups.

But otherwise, the streets were clear.
