Officials say some protesters angry over the acquittal of a police officer charged in the deaths of two unarmed suspects became violent and turned on bystanders, including some who pepper-sprayed patrons sitting at outdoor cafes downtown.

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams says 71 people were arrested Saturday night after a day of mostly peaceful protests turned more aggressive.

Williams said Sunday at a news conference with Mayor Frank Jackson that another protester threw a restaurant sign at a patron, striking him in the head. He says bystanders were also accosted in at least one other instance....

Is it safe to assume that the perps were not angry middle aged white people pepper spraying peaceful teen aged black Cafe Patrons who were minding their own business?

They’re headed for a bombing or other real violence.

I wonder where the law stands if you shoot some moron spraying pepper spray in the midst of a tantrum.

Yeah, they kind' had us try to figure it out. My money is on the perps being part of the mob bused in and kept in local motels during the week waiting for their looting ok sign. I don't think that Saint Lebron is going to stop the looting or attacks on peaceful "white" people. This is just what Cleveland needs: Another reason to not go anywhere near downtown. The savages are loose.

The Law In cleveland says that:

“if the Bad Actor be Bulack...

you have to Stand Back

If The Bad Actor Be White

then Its Alright”

its a part of the Uncivil Code

Protesters upset with the judge, the system and the cops, so what do they do? They attack bystanders, they will soon start rioting and destroying and maiming innocents and their property.

I say shoot the rat-bastards.

Didnt the riot apologists defend the rioters by saying that “they were not attacking people”?

unless its self defense, the reasons for the attacks are irrelevant.

charge them all with assault

(i know, it’ll never happen)

What if an armed bystander has asthma? That can be a real danger in my opinion. Deadly force would seem appropriate. Or say a bystander was on the final few days of a recovery from eye surgery? Deadly force would be appropriate. What if the bystander has children in their company? An infant in their company, even?

Detroit would have been safer but the agitators will go where ever it is.
