Very interesting... Thanks for the background story on why the police seemed to be so feeble at times. Fortunately for them, and for the peaceful residents of Albuquerque, the protesters only numbered in the hundreds, not thousands.
I was at the rally today. A bunch of very nice people in line.
As we were departing, we were re-directed by APD to alternate upstairs exits out of the venue.
The protestors/rioters were still at it so everybody had to leave thru the parking garage. Even those folks who did not park there.
Very little grumbling from the attendees.
We all took it stride.
The rioters shattered a glass door to the convention center and hurled bottles at APD horse mounted officers.
Interesting night.
