Where are the police? Aren't people paying their salaries so they can “keep the peace”? This is dereliction of duty, no?

Nope. Supreme Court declared that police have no duty to protect anyone.

I agree they are dropping the ball protecting the rights of the many, coddling the disruptive anti-government protests. But these things are a sort of a national version of a domestic dispute. As soon as they use force to stop the violent offenders, the public turns on them like the battered wife. Force has to be met with greater force, otherwise you have a stand off, and the public doesn’t have the stomach for that force, yet. Cops are nothing without the support of society, and we as a society are going to have to decide how much of these anti-government protests we will tolerate.
