This protest crap reminds me of the student protests in Japan in the 60s. They went on till the government finally had enough and put them down. Unfortunately now we have a government which is loaded with lefties so expecting the government to put down VIOLENT protests becomes less likely here. The more the delay, the more violent they will become. Good luck putting the genie back in the bottle.
What I do see is they want “more” of whatever it is each believes needs to happen. Be it More police protection in their neighborhoods, or dismantling the one they have or both..... The issue loudest spoken is they're not happy with how they are treated when confronted for their crimes.....but that's a two sided issue they can't seem to understand. Perhaps they just don't want to see their own part in the equation.
All these side line issues of schools, more funding, etc...are just the same issues they fight with those black and white leaders governing their cities. And those are local issues.
That’s how it was in France in 1968 with the “Soixante-Retards”
The thing I remember was that “Prague Spring” was going on at the same time, and the French rioters actually came out against the Dubcek government and supported the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia.
