getting a better picture of the turnout there. it seems to be pretty lopsided. reporter: kelly, some remarkable numbers just released by the police department here, as many as 40,000 protesters out on the street today, dwarfing expectations. it appeared at least 39,900 were on the side of those counter-demonstrators. fewer than 100 on side of the far-right, free speech demonstrators. it was a largely mixed crowd out on the streets today. they marched about two and a half miles from roxbury to the boston common. it was a mixed crowd of men, women, old and young, a lot of people with their families as well. i can tell you the mood, there was a lot of chanting, some swearing but also a lot of celebratory chants as well. as far as property damage goes, it was minimal. there were, according to police, some troublemakers in the group, some urine bottles were thrown at police. 33 arrests made overall, most of that for disorderly conduct,
