I am glad that he will recover and hope that there will be no more injuries on either side but again, police departments across the country seem under trained and unprepared to deal with protests. Police find themselves on the front line and become the face of oppressive behavior but they are under orders from mayors and other high ranking officials. I was discharged from the Army in 1971...40 years ago. Yet the training I received as an MP appears vastly superior to that afforded to police today with regards to crowd control and dealing peacefully with protests. One has to wonder why???
