[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember reading in one of the articles that MPD was afraid to fight back because too many people were armed.

Let that sink in.  Too many people armed (illegally) while committing a crime.  Too much of a threat to law enforcement for them to do their job.

This was not a success.  This was barely hanging on, avoiding a coup.  A success would have been mass arrests with appropriate precautions and backup if the criminals started shooting.[/quote]

This was predictable, 'worst case scenario' mayhem. Many lessons to be learned, including to get over our reticence to use NG and riot gear police. Yes, the optics aren't great. But I'd rather have protestors feelings get hurt (while protecting their right to peaceful, permitted protest) than what happens when mobs run amuck. We all lose then.[/quote]

As long as they are peaceful black protestors. If they are violent white rioters it’s okay for the feds to stand down and blame the mayor. [/quote]
