I agree with all that, and have remarked about the other issues. The deaths are a big deal, obviously, and as you point out, the lack of justification for arresting innocents is a big deal too.

I think the only point I was making in 91 was that I've been more focused on the unlawful arrests, than on the details of who started the fight, who started the shooting, and who (besides the cops) was involved in use of force that day.

Yes, I agree. I did not mean to imply you were ignoring those aspects. Your legal input has been invaluable.

I highly appreciate your contributions here.
