I poked my head into Reddit (always a mistake), and saw some nonsense list of demands for police by some random internet-keyboard-jockey.

Right, soooo if you got that list of demands, you and all the protesters would go home? What's the "or else" behind your demands? Or else we'll keep annoying cops and shutting down traffic? No, we know the real implied or-else is the looting and destruction. We also know you have no intent of going home, you just want power.
