1. I don't understand why they can't just leave them there.

5. I think it because of that asshole who showed up with a gun. n/t

7. ? I saw nothing in the story about anyone with a gun.

"The mayor said an unauthorized hip-hop concert that created a "dangerous situation" was the reason, adding some people associated with the movement "were on a clear path to escalation."

2. So why are the Police Militias in various cities always showing up so late?

and after dark?

So that major (lame) media is not there?

And is this costing overtime, etc.? How are you spending my pesky TAX DOLLARS????

3. Good thing they stubbornly resisted the calls for a clear, precise plan of action. Now when...

...public attention wavers, as it always does, and support wanes, as it always does, we'll know we really achieved lasting change.
And that the arrests and pepper spray and all that energy were really worth it.
