Talked to a state trooper this morning, one that was involved in the last Baton Rouge unpleasantness...He said that much of that problem was from outsiders coming into the city to professionally stir the pot. They even had bricks pre-positioned for the riots. During that time, they arrested a little over 200 people from the Philadelphia area, all who were having their expenses (and pocket money) comped.
Laws are different, state-to-state. In Louisiana, it is legal to deport a non-citizen of the state for inciting a riot. And that's what the state police did. They identified a few of the non-citizen ringleaders, arrested them, threw them in a van and transported them across the state line to the Texas state police, where they were told these nice Texas lawman would take them where they wished to go, but if they came back to Louisiana, here is what you will be charged with. BTW, if convicted, you ain't going to the Baton Rouge jail...These charges also contain felonies and you will spend time on The Farm. We promise you will not like Angola.
Things calmed down after that.
Law enforcement has decided to use the same tactics again, if need be. Protest all you want, just be peaceful and respect private property and the rights of other citizens.

DC police are expecting tonight's protests to be a lot more peaceful. No idea why they believe this but here's hoping.

Dumbasses were trying to break onto the White House grounds. They are lucky tear gas and batons were all they got.
What's the endgame, here? The cop in the video has been arrested on Murder 3, and the other cops are all facing Obstruction or Aiding and Abetting. They want justice? What more do you want? A law saying it's illegal to kill black people? It's there. Now it's being enforced...

My understanding is that the Secret Service had goodies and party favors for anybody who actually made it to the house.

Here, in Knoxville there was a protest night before last that was peaceful, the police actually marched with the protesters, and when the time came to end it, everyone went home.
Yesterday morning, several busloads of out of town people arrived. Last night protest turned violent. But only for a little while.......

Looks to me another aspect of this is just opportunistic looting and tons of it. My guess is that people are using social media to figure where the cops aren’t and literally clearing out stores. The stuff I saw today involved a lot of curbside pick up in cars.
I don’t see this subsiding yet. I really think the peaceful protesters need to stop so that the police can focus on the looters and those intent on destruction.
Naively the normal protesters are creating a perfect environment for the others.

I think reason called it in about 36 hours ago. This is all what-the-fuck-ever until either people get bored after a few days, or the pot gets stirred again.
