“... it would be nice to know with some certainty just what the ROE are.”
In Portland, Washington D.C. and other left wing towns where they riot, the ROE are, you go to jail if you defend yourself. If you really hurt one of them in self defense, you go to jail for a long time. Easy conviction for DA in front of a left-wing jury that doesn’t believe in self-defense if you aren’t one of them.
Unfortunately, probably true. Eric Clayton got 3 months of probation.
