After protesters I breachedsecurity fences, blocked entrances,and stood, hundreds strong, outside the Wells Fargo Center each night of the Democratic National Convention, police and delegates braced for another evening of raucous demonstrations as Hill- ary Clinton prepared to take the stage Thursday. Acrowd of upwards of 500 did, indeed, swell again outside the convention site Thursday night, and chanted “Feel the Bern” near the security fences. It was loud but calmer than the night before. It was that way throughout the day,with smatterings of dissent that held out, even as severe thun- derstorms rumbled into the city. The week had largely proven peaceful. By Thursday evening, Philadelphia police had issued 103 citations and the Secret Ser- vice had arrested 11 people for jumpingover security fences,po- lice said. Only five of those cited were from the Philadelphia area, according to Police Commission- er Richard Ross. ‘Everyone knew’ Nine of the arrested demon- strators were released by aU.S. magistrate judge Wednesday and Thursday.Another,aRhode Island man foundwith three Protesters attempt —unsuccessfully —toburn an American flag outside the Wells FargoCenter.

With filters, waging political combatisasnap

By LauraMcCrystal STAFF WRITER napchat, the popular social-media app, has been getting aworkout in its first political convention season as delegates and visitors use it to share photos, videos, and personal observations instantly everywhere. SIt’salso becoming apolitical weapon in the hands of sponsors who pay to reach the mostly younger users of the app. Special convention filters allow users, who access them for free, to superimpose colorful pictures or words over their images. Some are fairly neutral, such as “Protest cam” —areference to the thou- sands of protesters who have flocked to the city. But some send pointed political messages. “Hillary Clinton is aLIAR,” one filter says, the word liar arranged in red block letters in the style of Philadelphia’swell-known LOVE sculpture. That filter also has an official sponsor noted on it: Harris Media L.L.C. The Texas-based political con- sulting firm focuses on social media and has worked for anumber of Republican candidates, including former presidential contender TedCruz.
