That is the situation in Newark NJ; also, it was easy for the mayor to reach out to the agitators and point out that since the last riots more than half a century ago, most working people and employers had left - they couldn’t chase away the few that remained.
The mayors and police departments nipped the insanity in the bud in my region.
Our local thugs started moving in these violent directions but our police (with backing of the mayor) told thugs to to ‘disperse’ BEFORE IT WENT TOO FAR - - and when they didn’t, they were arrested.
That was it. Over before it started - the flame of ignorance and hate didn’t spread.
Police in democrat hellholes could have stopped this too - they have the skill and training - but democrat hellhole mayors wanted the violence...
