Two days after the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings, at noon on April 18, Code Pink and 50 years staged another protest to demand that Paul Wolfowitz resign. Packed bags were displayed and crime scene tape strung by uniformed "Pink police" from Code Pink.

The Code Pink "Pink Police" were a blast, wearing custom-made uniforms that looked like cop uniforms except for being PINK! In addition, crime tape was strung in front of the World Bank, and luggage rolled around bearing name tags for Wolfowitz and destinations like "Federal Court" and "The Hague."

When the Pink Police tried to enter the building, the security guard who stopped them was personally insulting, asking that "crimes against humanity" be spelled and even using sexist insults on a trans person at the scene.

Looks like it would take a Pink Swat Team and a battering ram to get in! I suggested to Code Pink that they might have better luck at 7104 Pinehurst Parkway, the home of Paul Wolfowitz. No Sleep for the Wicked!
