Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton, who was out monitoring the crowds downtown, said the protestors -- who numbered about 5,000 -- were well behaved and that he didn’t anticipate any problems. He said earlier he had spoken to Chicago police who were expecting about 30,000 marchers to take to the streets today. ‘I said most of our people must have gone there,’ Bratton said.
