800-1200 people when this began.
officers had to pull back.
units from EVERY law enforcement agency have responded.
officers going over 100 MPH to get there on 15 (what I'm seeing)
THREE different groups.
officers holding them back from spreading out.
ASTREA IS in the air to help cops.
"the situation is NOT a good one"
You're fast, too! LOL
Any idea what the heck started this? I mean, weren't they peacefully marching for their supposed 'rights' just hours ago? What got people riled?
Typical. Not enough firepower on the line early enough in the game to keep it from getting out of hand. Now that it's out of hand, there isn't the willpower to breing the boot heel down.
We had yahoo's 'cruising' the local day laborer 'strip' honking, waving flags, shouting, blaring music...
I called the local PD and asked them WTH they were doing about it; dispatch said, "We've got a couple units headed down there." I laughed out loud and said "That's not gonna cut it; you'd best call in the ghetto bird and some serious reinforcements. These people are out there acting like they own the place."
I got the typical bureaucratic, "Thank you."
Yeah, right. If we don't get this fixed, next time I'll get the typical bureaucratic 'Gracias.'
