10 police officers is all they could muster for a riot? And they left and didnt come back? Normally seeing the police pull out is the green light for an all out rampage.
10 cops, and they left? i guess that the difference between florida and texas. all it takes there is one ranger ("only one riot isn't there?")
Pity the police. If they had acted to quell the threat of riot with any display or use of force you can bet the usual cries of " racism and police brutality would have been heard". No doubt knowing this, Orlando and the police department most likely have a mandated policy that encounters like the one at Palm Springs are to be dealt with in a non confrontational manner. In situations like this the ACLU, NAACP, and the liberal courts have made sure that the police hands will be tied.
I am just guessing. But recalling similar police reaction to crowd violence makes me think I am on target.
