@lucky this would look bad, if there were no riots beforehand.
But since we all know what stare America is in right now, I cannot be mad at them.
In contrary, I am just waiting till they get the order to shoot the "protestors" and get the state back in order.
Btw, just one week ago, I had never considered myself to be authoritarian, but seeing, what kind of pathetic police force USA has, I am starting to see, why a police state would not be such a bad alternative. (If by police state you mean allow the cops to stop obvious criminals)
