I was a police officer during the King riots and democratic convention in 1968. Mayor Daley put the hammer down on the hippies. The AHats were throwing poop out the windows of the Conrad Hilton in us below. Set fire to a police wagon in Grant Park with the police inside. Boy did we kick butt. Broke so many nite sticks that Evanston sent truck loads of ebony sticks with stainless shafts to us at Grant Park, the Palmer house and Hilton.

King riots Daley gave the order to “shoot to kill”. Then the National Guard came to help us out.

These were the days. Cleveland will do OK if the Mayor gets some balls.

These kind of antics backfire... and bring MORE people to Trump. It helped the vote in Louisiana...

Didn’t Mayor Frank Rizzo call in National Guard tanks to “handle” protestors in Philadelphia — in the ‘60s maybe? Not a bad idea.

Maybe the locals, even most of the local Democrats, don’t approve of riots, but that would not stop rioters from elsewhere being brought into the area.

Black Racists Matter will be causing trouble?

Yes, the left will be out in force. Conservatives don’t riot.

The other day somebody had a quote like

“When black people riot, neighborhoods are destroyed. When white people riot, countries are destroyed”

or similar

One of my favorite new crowd-control devices is the low-frequency sound emitter that causes rioters to become nauseated to the point of uncontrollable vomiting.

“It will be Cruz and Trump supporters when the GOPe scrooooooos one of them out of an earned victory.”

Actually. . .

“It will be Cruz and Trump supporters when the GOPe scrooooooos BOTH of them out of an earned victory.”

The way I’ve seen it phrased is “When people of color ‘rage’, cities burn. When white people ‘rage’, continents burn”.

I think your phraseology is better.
Thanks

Buddy of mine worked inn Cleveland during the '68 riots.

His neighbor set up a "Ma Deuce", with tripod, on his front porch.

My buddy said "Can we hang out with you? We'll bring beer."

There was no trouble on their block.

Cart them off to a warehouse and secure them there until a judge sees them for processing.

An "accidental" warehouse explosion/fire might not be a bad thing...they would do it themselves and blame the Republicans.

It’s not hard to disrupt disruptors. Not that I would get into tactics on an open forum.

Trump should bring in a “private security firm,” ala Blackwater, to keep order, if that is even possible.

Any suggested links either posted here or links via PM would be appreciated.
I found your narrative on how a riot actually spreads to be a very compelling read.
