No mention of monitoring the area for the motorists safety.
No mention of monitoring the area for the motorists safety.
Let alone clearing the road for law-abiding, taxpaying motorists to use it.
This is insanity cubed.
I think I see the problem.....................
Let me guess.. blue city?
Wut? Maybe we really do need to abolish the police, and just start taking care of s**t ourselves.
I'm not kidding.
“The Durham Police Department said they will monitor traffic in the area for the protesters’ safety”
How about, oh, i dont know....like removing the protesters and arresting them?
The Democrats are enjoying Antifa and BLM wreaking havoc on the country, but they have absolutely no control over them. From a political standpoint the Democrats have to thread the political needle to pacify these kooks while appearing to be centrist to the voters.
Lawless protesters are just leaving themselves open for lawless counter-protesters.
Looks like a test track for Ford 450 Platinum and any Chevy or Ram you can bring. Although a 1967 Ford could break through that “Barrier”.
Durham is a craphole. I lived there for several years. It is completely taken over by an unholy alliance of liberal academics (Duke, and next door to UNC-Chapel Hill) and black racists. Couldn’t get out fast enough. They will completely cave to the woke mob and the already high crime rates will skyrocket.

In our small city the cowed police chief vowed to give BLM “space” and they shut down one of our busiest intersections on a Sat afternoon by lying in the road.
Protestors safety?
Here's a novel idea...throw all the sons of bitches in jail if they block traffic.
How much safer can that be for them?
Stoopid idiots.
“The Durham Police Department said they will monitor traffic in the area for the protesters’ safety..”
Bite me.
Get about 5-10 guys with pickup trucks, 20 more or muscle guys. Call a news crew and tell them to follow them.
Roll up to the blockade all together, stop, get out in force and grab all the road closure materials and throw them in the back of the pickup trucks.
Leave a sign that says “Open Roads Matter, too”. Make sure it is all on video.
Ten pickups loaded with men who are armed, to set up perimeter and cover.
Two trucks to sweep in and carry away the pallets.
Lather rinse repeat
Democrat mayors (mostly ‘of color’)have enabled black thugs and white antifa... That’s a form of control.
Other than the fine money they get from the trumped up tickets they write, the police do not give a damn about the safety of the motorists. They do not give a shit if you and your wife and children are stopped by the Anarchists and dragged and pulled out of the vehicle and beaten half to death. Or your wife is driving by and they throw a brick through her windshield. The Police don’t give a damn about that. But if you so much as give the bastards a dirty look, the Police are on you like ugly on an ape.
Nope. As far as the Police care, the motorists can go to hell.
It’s Durham. Enough said.
The Durham Police Department said they will monitor traffic in the area for the protesters’ safety, and state transportation workers were at the scene expanding the road closures to manage traffic.

That is the problem in a nutshell.
I am sure there are plenty of contractors in the area that would gladly send a front end loader and a dump truck or two and haul off the ‘barricades’ while the police are doing THE JOB of clearing the streets for the safety of the LAW ABIDING PUBLIC..which the TAXPAYERS money is paying for.
How these mayors/governors say there is no justification (specific laws) in removing the ‘wilders’ they have no problem ILLEGALLY ordering the wearing of masks etc.
Then, when they realize there is no legality in what they are doing, they ‘bribe’ shop owners etal with health department or other such foolishness.
Apparently not a one of these idiots realizes that since they allow the ‘protests’ - no matter how ‘mostly peaceful’ to go on while restricting TAX PAYING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS movements etc.
Saddest part is that instead of massive recalls etc the fools will probably be reelected
