Have to use crowd control. That’s where this whole thing started. Police were not allowed to use crowd control (because the mayors are negligent cowards), which of course emboldened the protestors. They show up to cause trouble because they know that in most cases the cops can’t do anything. This has nothing to do with politics. It’s about a desire to act out destructive and anarchic rage. If cops were even routinely allowed to use their non lethal crowd control techniques, all of this nonsense would start dying out quite quickly. Most of these people are total pussies.
