but overall their deescalation strategies worked. I criticize the way they chose to close roads and organize the crowd.

All of downtown should have been closed, including the 4th st crossing and water street.

Especially because the bulk of downtown parking is at water st.

That was a grievous miscalculation. But their tactics definitely deescalated and saved lives.

As long as there is a state I will encourage police to choose deescalation tactics and enforce sensible rules equally...

while also advocating for their disarmament. Those things are not at odds.

Shaun is right in that police were wrong to not be at Water St. garage.

A good portion of the objections is the difference between the police "approach" when it's a group of whites vs a BLM protest.

Yep, definitely. And that's something we called out on j8 and something we continue to call out.
