You know what...if the cops cannot defend themselves then they shouldn’t be out there. The Rules of Engagement with rioters needs to change ASAP.

Water cannons...right now.

Agreed. The hammer should have come down long ago.

What I don't understand is why there is no sniper overwatch.

A rioter hits an officer in the head with a bat or shoots at an officer, they have forfeited their life. The ROE needs to keep up with the situation - and this ain't no "protest".
