What concerns me is the casual manner that the police took the lives of 9 individuals and the mass arrests and detentions. this is reminiscent of the roundups of Jews and Hitler’s political enemies in Europe in the 30s and early 40s.

Really?
I cannot recall from any of my reading a story that the Jews rounded up in Nazi Germany were involved in a gang brawl at a breastaurant. I know things got dicey in the Warsaw ghetto, but nothing quite like this.
Are you assuming facts not in evidence - perhaps you’re more up on it - but has it been confirmed that all of the dead were shot and killed by the police?
Germany had laws against the Jews. What the government did was not “illegal”.
The Stonewall riots (a gay drama riot over the closure of a mob run speakeasy) have now been celebrated by the gay president.
This wasn’t even a riot. Were there 150 people piling on one another? Alternatively reports say it began as a scuffle in the parking lot over a space or in the bathroom over some matter. That’s a wide stance. Did the participants in one rumble text to the others to join in the fray?
Some reports say that many bikers sought to get safely out of the area. It sounds like the bystanders and staff were able to take enough time to get to safe refuge in the kitchen and meat freezer.
