That nobody was legally there and the cops wouldn’t/couldn’t disperse them is the root cause of the problem.
Unless you’re not interested in why it happened in the first place and just want to continue your gunturd bad agenda.
Under reaction and over reaction are both threats.
When you try to avoid one you increase the chance of others.
In this case the cops definitely undereacted.
Contrast this with Kent state where the National Guard shot the college kids. Over reaction.
Then you could say the cop under reacted at the Washington riot.
They should have lit those a-holes up good.
That would have cooled their jets.
But then it could have led to more escalation.
My point is that its tricky.
