So far I have not seen any heavy handed police locally. I know of one man rubber bulleted in his yard near the riots. Poor idea to go out when he did. Most of the mess seems to be away from the ghetto area and near the city offices. ( my city does not have real ghettos like some back east). So far there aare not mass arrests.
I remember when they would surround an area and move in tightening the noose and sweep everyone into a fenced area. I half hope and half fear such again. It is getting hotter which brings out the tempers on both sides.
Simon: i wish the gun debate was over. it will never go away.
Chicago seems to have a step up in violence. Strange as it is a gun free city and murder is unlawful there
If you want to see real violence try Ireland during the 20s. Or Venezuela s socialist utopia.
