Someone from your building with the authority to bar this individual needs to do that. Grab a photo of the guy, print it out and attach it to the barring notice. Make the name John Doe if you don’t have any info on him. MPD will sign barring notices as a witness. The individual must be served with/made aware of the barring notice before it can take effect. When he returns the next time he can be arrested for unlawful entry. If there’s solid evidence of the crimes you allege this individual committed, the detectives will be able to close out all of those cases at once. He’ll still get off easy and be back at it the next day because it’s DC, but if you want him arrested that’s how you do it. Be aware him being arrested won’t fix anything long term, he’s likely been arrested already for numerous other things and continues to do what he does.

The police work with and protect the protesters. They also ensure no crimes are being committed by or against the group. The leaders of the protest tell the police what their route will be, so a large police presence is used to block traffic and streets so the protesters can safely walk their route. In the case of counter protesters showing up to start issues, the police are there to keep the groups separated. In reference to the police outnumbering the protesters, it’s hard to tell how big the protest may become. It’ll start with the main group/organizers, and as they walk through DC it’s not unusual to gather more protesters in a snowball effect.
