    What is so striking about the scene at the gun rights rally in Richmond is what you don’t see: almost no cops. Just that little cluster of state police there. No lines of riot cops. No law enforcement in riot gear.pic.twitter.com/W0jkwYmmkP

        Maybe because their presence is unnecessary. American gun owners are empirically more law-abiding than not only other Americans, but also the police.

        And we know it wouldn't be this way if this were a crowd of black men carrying weapons.

        If this were non white people, this would be playing out very differently. The reserves should have been brought in and they should have corralled them into smaller groups. Protest is fine but this is menacing

        You mean to tell me there are no riot cops at a place where there are no riots happening? What kind of mad sorcery is this?
