From a truck parked in the eastbound lanes, protest organizers chanted slogans, spoke of racial injustice and urged the crowd to remain peaceful. The group mostly complied early on, but later into the night, police were targeted with rocks, fireworks and construction rebar taken from the roadway.
Scores of white demonstrators stood side-by-side at the perimeter of the crowd to protect others from arrest. Many were taken into custody.
Peaceful protesting can be effective, but this is absolutely couterproductive. |
Police use intimidation and violence to get their point across, it's what they understand. No change will be made until the police "understand" that they need to change how they police.
God knows we certainly cannot count on politicians to do their job; managing our police forces.
