“As much as I detest these nihilists, Marxists, agitators (call them anything but protesters) I don’t think billing organizers for police overtime is a viable solution. I also don’t want these people destroying parks. The solution is what’s called the broken window strategy. Get to the rally early and start making arrests for any real offense, however petty. This prevents any real unrest. This is the strategy that helped turn NYC around in the 1990s. It’s common sense and it works and Ridgewood should use it. And everyone should take note of the similarities between Ridgewood and Kenosha. Both in Democrat run states, both about 50 miles from a very large city and very similar demographics.”
Isn’t the main source of violence at these protests because of the very thing you’re suggesting happens? Police agitating and escalating before anything more than a “petty crime” has been committed? The first real crime committed is usually the use of tear gas on American citizens, folks have the right to assemble and protest whatever they want.
Somebody out there is dying to live in a police state and it shows, when I woke up this morning I was in America, after reading this article I’m wondering if that’s still true or not….
To the idiot first commenter. All I can say is your mother is going to be very angry with you when she finds out that you came up from the basement and used her computer.
If you break the law you should be held accountable, that’s the reason why we have laws. Then, not to be set free after you break the law.
Funny how you see these civil rights leaders from the sixties all supporting Trump and now democratic mayors are endorsing him as well.
