We wanted to meet up with friends, and I tried to send out a Glympse, but there was no coverage. I wasn’t sure if it was because there were so many people, or if there was a jammer. I had been in DC for many other protests, but I hadn’t experienced a complete lack of connection.

At a certain point, a black police SUV moved away from us, and I suddenly had reception again. I’d experienced jammers before, at a NASCAR event I’d shot in Richmond, and I wondered if this was the same kind of thing.
