About 70 people, many of them not wearing masks, held a rally in support of the police and President Donald J. Trump on the esplanade in downtown Redwood City. Anti-Trump protesters also showed up at the scene, leading the two groups to engage in verbal confrontations.
Many of the heated discussions between the two opposing groups centered on racism. According to several of the pro-Trump protesters, the existence of racism is a lie by the media and “communists,” which was refuted by the anti-Trump protesters, among whom were several people of African descent.
