they want to outside agitators gone and leave behind peaceful protesters. One group of protesters last night even identified an outside group of communist/anarchists that were trying to incite violence and they pointed the inciters out to the police and asked to have them removed. Which the police did. When someone got injured last night the people handed the person over to the police because they had the facilities to get him to hospital faster. There are lines of communication open between the people and the police. They are helping each other. I think Captain Johnson is just representing that.
