"Primarily it was people forming very large crowds that had the potential of disrupting normal activities, traffic flow, egress and the like. We had a very large contingency of law enforcement to help us keep our community safe. In order to keep things from getting out of hand, there were orders to disperse, orders to keep moving. Those who disobeyed those instructions were arrested. Much of the arrests last night had to do with failure to disperse when ordered." [my emphasis]Essentially, this person is saying that the POTENTIAL of disrupting "normal activities, traffic flow, egress and the like" justifies tear gas, rubber bullets, LRAD and arrest.
HOW ARE YOU NOT OUTRAGED?
