Been watching a few live TV feeds from helicopters. Peaceful protesters have taken the streets around city hall. There was supposed to be a meeting but representatives are taking the coward's way out. The cops are afraid to do anything to piss the people off even more so the civil disobedience of walking down the middle of the street with their protest signs is being allowed so far. Rush hour is pretty much over and as darkness falls we will see if the cops decide to do something stupid.

I expect to hear ambulances any time now.

(32,723 posts)They say they were gang members but it turns out the one that was shot in the leg and then executed with a shot to the head wasn't a gang member.
The FBI just announced they are going to investigate the shooting.

Keep in mind this protest today was because it was the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting that turned into an angry mob yelling at their representatives for their inaction and in response, the City Council acted decisively.
They ran away.

This is right around the corner from City Hall.
