Defending the 170 bystanders that were arrested, or themselves? They were slightly outnumbered.
I am interested to learn if they made the best call on how to accomplish that goal. It’s possible they made a bad situation worse. It’s possible they were absolutely flawless and totally justified.
The ultimate truth is probably in the middle.
But, again, my main interest is in what transpired and continues AFTER the shooting stopped.
NOW, will you withdraw your accusation that I make stuff up?
