* But that was not needed. It was a peaceful protest. The whole front yard was lined with cops. Why wasn't that show of force at the Target that was on fire? Why were those "rednecks" guarding the small business with machine guns because there were no cops around? No, the most police shown that night were protecting 1 man. You can't tell me, that is where all those troops were needed most.

* The calculated move also includes this thread's video. You think that the police department didn't have tear gas, rubber bullets, hoses, etc. to break up the crowed? They are letting this happen. Why? Move murder cop to a undesclosed hotel and put those 100 troops guarding him on the streets where they are more needed. This is all calculated.

* No, none of this is right. The riots are horrible. I'm just saying that they are letting it happen for political reasons. And when everything is said and done, there will be more deaths and murder cop will not be charged.
