About time. We should never feel afraid of those who protect us so the bad apples need to be plucked.

It would seem that there is more than enough blame to go around to all
concerned.
If there were no protest this would not have happened.
You put a large group of people together.
Thet are at counter purposes. Many are there only to incite violence.
And the die is cast. It becomes self fulling.
Everyone gets their desired results
