The city has a pretty new female black police chief they hired from Oakland, CA., Chief Outlaw. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for her this fiasco would still be going on.
It seems after five or so weeks she finally had a long talk with the jerk and said enough is enough, that’s when they told protesters to clear out and the city was left with a huge mess to clean up.
They had some near riots right after that and police were under the gun for injuring a few anarchists. Chief Outlaw came forward and stood up for the department, backed them 100%. Said the criminals are the anarchists, not the police and things finally quieted down.
Good! Chief Outlaw... what a great name for a law enforcement person. :-)
