consent decrees. With the local “residents” they essentially scrape up the losers and then maybe lock up the winners if possible. They will not proactively police and I don’t blame them one iota. And guess who really suffers, the non criminal poor and elderly stuck in those places?
During the last riot I remember they requested assistance from the York County PA special response team and PSP. We are only about an hour and 1/2 away from downtown where I live and the county borders MD. Our team leader said sure, but guess what, if the “demonstrators” started throwing shit at them or otherwise physically threatening them, they were gonna crack some heads. Suffice it say they were put in tactical back up roles and not on the front lines. The guys that were on the line (their cops) put up with some real bad shit so that the goofball mayor wouldn’t look bad on CNN.
Sad, very sad.
