The police said they try to do things slowly letting the protesters make the decision to leave and not push them..
He said this way it wouldn’t make them want to fight back and quietly leave without a fight. I guess if the police are calm they think it will signal the crowd to be calm.
My daughter and her friends were crossing at Fair drive by the protesters and Latino guy sped into the intersection burning rubber and doing donuts. If he would have lost control people would have been hurt. Scummy crowd cheered him. She said police did not go after him...I bet they did, just waited for him to drive away from the area.
