do you really think the cops on the street are the ones directing what happens? or do you suppose that perhaps the mayor gets a call, he calls the chief, and the officers on the street are given express orders....i'm figuring it's the latter.
the street cops and beat cops and sod's don't decide when to move on protesters.
my father was a policeman in d.c. for 20 years, and was at countless protests-and riots as well. he didn't decide when and where to do things, just like soldiers don't choose their plans of attack.
so, if you have a problem with how the police handle things, don't blame the peons, blame the brass.
edit~i saw riots post where she quotes the mayor of boston-helps prove my point.
