I can’t believe the riffraff were allowed to manhandle the cops like that.
In my day, you touched a cop in that kind of crowd situation, a billy club would come down on you.
These cops did not seem very well trained for this kind of event.
Or maybe they knew they would not be supported by their brass if they dared to defend themselves.

BINGO!
The Chicago police seemed well trained for a nonviolent response. When taking down and cuffing a man, they didn’t even reach for a billy club. I’m glad the police didn’t become part of the story as they did at the DNC convention in 1968.
Soros put out a cattle call for actors in a bit of community organizer street theater. That doesn’t qualify as newsworthy to me, other than as an example of contrived outrage. The police should arrest the violent; otherwise shouldn’t feed the artificial flames.
