When they were shot at-they had their hands raised in the air & were shouting “Press! Press! Press!"

74. Yes taking the shooter into custody probably would quell the unrest.

I heard that doing so before the prosecution is ready could cause the evidence gathering process to accelerate once he's charged because of the speedy trial thing, but it seems he could be held at least for a short while as a material witness without charge. I can only imagine what my fate would have been if I were the one that shot someone in the street and witnesses said it was unjustified. I would expect to be arrested and expect the same for any cop. Give him the same justice I would get, a jury of his civilian peers.

Casting wide nets will never quell unrest it will just increase it. Collateral damage does have long term consequences. Our military makes terrorists the same way, it is just a matter of magnitude, same thing just a higher level.

Who said a reporter got shot? Could you provide a link to the article? I knew some were arrested and/or detained but not that any were shot.
