The city of Rochester is busing in town “elders’’ to act as a “buffer’’ between protesters and cops Sunday night after a large violent clash there hours earlier over the police death of Daniel Prude, officials said.
Rochester Police Chief La’Ron Singletary said at a press conference with the city’s mayor Sunday that local authorities have “credible information one of the areas [marchers] want to target is a symbolic feature’’ — the town’s public-safety building, which houses its police department.
Mayor Lovely Warren said she and local pastor Myra Brown came up with a plan to have about 50 “elders’’ form a line of peaceful defense between the protesters and cops to thwart any potential attack on the building or other violence.
“[We] are calling on the elders of this city and our community to meet at [Brown’s] church’’ at 6:30 p.m., Warren said, adding that the local government would help out by transporting community leaders around, according to footage of the presser by local WHEC-TV.
“They will stand as the buffer between our protesters and our police department,’’ she said of the “elders.”
Three cops were injured and nine people arrested overnight during what amounted to the city’s biggest protest so far involving Prude’s death. Cops fired tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd of at least 1,500, while they were battered by bottles and commercial-grade fireworks by marchers who refused to disperse.

They really do want to see old people killed don’t they.
And this one, similarly fitted out, has an "attitude".
While many of the 60's flower children have no doubt matured and gained some sense, what I don't like about this concept is the potential to present the two opposite forces as being equal acceptable alternatives.
Simply put, the opposite of law and order doesn't have similar value and the street is a tough classroom for the naïve.
Maybe the pro-communist BLM will respect the elders. :)
Wonder how much Mayor Lovely is paying them. I’ll bet it’s a ridiculous amount...and out of the money she took away from the police.
“Elders” How does one achieve the status of ‘elder’? I know that ugly guy who beat the drum in Sandman’s face was styled an ‘elder’. Do one have to be an Indian or other minority or can anyone of any race apply? I ask because I have at least a decade on the Indian ‘elder’ and no one to my knowledge has ever referred to me as an ‘elder’. Hell, I wasn’t considered old until this Wuhan/CCP virus hit.
Well, you teased me into reading the underlying article, {:^).
...[died] while he suffered a mental breakdown on the street.
Ok, it's clear, police are no longer qualified to engage in spontaneous law enforcement, all action must be pre-approved by an on-site incident psychologist and subject to later peer committee approval.
(Have they made that movie yet?)
LOL.
No matter how hard she tries “Lovey” will not be able to kill off as many ‘elders’ as Cuomop / DeBlasio, Whitmer etc. did.
What an insane idea.
Cannon fodder.
Long a Muzzie tactic in their homelands. That and place their mortars on the roof tops of local hospitals.
The tribal elders. Right. GTFO.
The famous comedy team of Lovely and La’Ron.
Rochester has no chance.
Shuffle off to Buffalo.
“Mayor Lovely Warren said she and local pastor Myra Brown came up with a plan....”
Sounds like a good way to get hurt and/or arrested for interfering with law enforcement.
Not afraid of the covid?
Good luck with that. You are dealing with communist sociopaths who have no empathy for anything or anyone. Joe Stalin loved those “Useful Idiots” because they were so easily controlled.
“Maybe the pro-communist BLM will respect the elders. :)”
Yes. Useless Eaters.
That way the protesters can stand behind the seniors and lob bricks and Molotov cocktails at the police.
