>> a lot of our people have jobs. a lot of people aren't interested in protesting obama. >> reporter: for the police and the city, of course, the smaller numbers made the march more manageable. political conventions of the past have often exploded in ugly confrontatio confrontations. but not so far this year. what is the recipe for success with these marches? we've seen a peaceful march in tampa and apparently a peaceful march here. very different from what we saw in denver and minneapolis four years ago. >> i think it's anticipation. you have to anticipate the people, meet with people, talk to people, understand what they want to do and try to negotiate yourself through it in order to make sure at the end everybody is safe. >> reporter: protests are expected to continue here over the holiday including one demonstration featuring members of organized labor. joe johns, cnn, charlotte. >> the u.s. moves to limit attacks on troops by afghan security forces. just ahead we'll tell you what the u.s. is doing to restore trust with afghan police. humans -- even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why, at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what else comes standard at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy?

why so many incidents before they decided to tighten up? >> you're absolutely right, barbara starr, live at the pentagon. thank you very much. >>> and the u.s. state department says it is working to find out information about a missing u.s. journalist. us a it continue tice disappeared while reporting in syria. there's a picture of him there.

has been subject to a lot of hype but came off without a hitch with only two arrests and no reported violence. >> hey, hey, ho, ho, wall street south has got to go. >> reporter: between two and 10,000 people were predicted for this march. only a few hundred showed up, but they were loud. >> our children get sicker. your pockets get bigger. >> reporter: about what you would expect for a march against one of the leading financial centers. honestly, it was the police who led the way, but not far behind pushing a bicycle was an organizer from occupy wall street in new york, who had come over from tampa where he had been protesting at the republican national convention. he said he'd lost some people after the event in florida. >> we ultimately ended up coming down with a couple of buses and some other people found their own transportation. now, as for numbers here, they're a lot less. half the people ended up going back to new york. >> why did they do that? >> a lot of our people have jobs. a lot of people aren't interested in protesting obama. >> reporter: for the police in the city, of course, the smaller numbers made the march more manageable. political conventions of the past have often exploded in ugly confrontation, but not so far this year. >> what is the recipe for success with these marches? we've seen a peaceful march in tampa and apparently a peaceful march here. very different from what we saw in denver and minneapolis four years ago. >> i think it's anticipation and communication. you got to anticipate and have the willingness to meet with people and talk to people, understand what they want to do, and then you try to negotiate yourself through it in order to make sure in the ends that everybody is safe. >> reporter: protests are expected to continue here on the holiday, including one demonstration featuring members of organized labor. gary. >> joe, thank you very much. coming up on cnn tomorrow night, obama revealed. my colleague jessica yellen reveals the man for the people who know him best, personal confidants, his closest advisers, and even president obama himself. watch "obama revealed" tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern time and pacific on cnn. >>> all eyes will be on the president this week as he delivers his acceptance speech. what will he say?

happier than eddie money running a travel agency. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. >>> so what can we expect to hear from president obama at this week's democratic convention? earlier i posed that question and more to lz granderson and will cain. they're both cnn contributors. since we can assume that the president won't specifically ask delegates if they're better off now than they were four years ago, what he thought the president might say. >> about nine months ago, i'd say, he gave a speech in kansas where he talked about the middle class. he talked about status of the middle class against those of the wealthy. i think those are themes we'll hear from again. i said nine months ago, so that's not going to be a new message. what he should do would be to say something along the lines of what you suggest he shouldn't. are you better than you were four years ago? look, i inherited a difficult situation. it's on the right track. i've turned it around slightly. i think you can try to make that difficult message. >> lz, what do you think the president should say this week? >> it was funny listening to the way will characterized the president and the way the dnc platform is going to be. i don't see it as a division. i see it as pointing out what's good for the american people. there's no division when you point out the numbers. the numbers have said one thing explicitly. that's the fact that income has left the middle class and the lower class and at a number that's disproportionate to the growth of rich people, has all gone to the rich americans. we've seen that gap for the last three and a half years. not even during w's administration, but the last 40 years. that's not division. that's pointing out the trends. once he does that, then he's able to talk about why he made the decisions that he did. why he instituted obamacare, for instance. >> lz, let's talk about the last democratic president. wednesday, the second night at the convention, will be bill clinton time. he's remembered for a lot of things. one of them is a good economy, a surplus. any risks that bill clinton could upstage the president? >> you know, when i saw that question, i just sort of laughed because in order to be afraid of that, the person who follows bill clinton would have to be insecure. president obama is not insecure. in fact, i think it says a lot about him as well as democrats that they're not even going
