Glad you are back Sarge. Am going to start researching to see if can find any information on numbers of people hit by gunfire last night. At last count over 150 shots fired last night and that has to be a low-balled figure. Also was a report of a sniper with a high powered rifle firing at Police. EMTs were not allowed into certain areas because of gunfire. May calm return or may the Dog be ugly by restoring calm. Ugly maybe will be what it takes.

That figure is DEFINITELY low; by my sources, there was a running gunfight between police and the rioters when the Unified Command Post was overrun.
I got reports of up to 75 armed rioters engaging police. Once the NG finally got deployed, I lost the report stream; no telling if the Guard joined the fight.
This tells me that the Guard was there to protect state assets and not engage the mob. Police had two tactical units at their disposal, and they thought they were badass enough to handle the situation...
