And the right to protest and the right to free speech. I wholeheartedly agree with and support that.
However, there is no 'right' to riot and ONCE a significant number of people become unruly or unlawful, the immediate area needs to be dispersed with authority (within the confines of the law) and arrests made where appropriate.
I'd like to see L.E. take more assertive action then we have witnessed some places.
