Oh, that mayor is in over her head. She just declared a curfew. TOMORROW. Tomorrow? And who is going to enforce it? It is particularly juicy to see an all-black city hall at the helm.
Yup..very awkward moment there. Can't be crying about racism now.

And it sure looks like they took her up on it.


And she changed her tune today though. Maybe that call from Obama and the Governor woke her up ?

Why are they waiting until 10pm tomorrow night for their curfew? And why 10pm, in LA during the 1992 riots it was when it became dusk that the curfew started.

Just like Ferguson with their ridiculous midnight curfew.

If the mayors house was on fire I wonder if she would need to give them space to destroy?

Obvious racial bias by the media showing only Black people looting.

But in the beginning the police made them leave at curfew and then everyone got upset and said the police were heavy handed and looked too military like. Then they stepped aside and now we have the result of police not being aggressive towards people that riot.

The reality is that even if the protests were 100% peaceful, these sorts of things would still happen. Protesters were peaceful in the 50's, 60's and 70's, but we are still dealing with crap like this in the 10's.
Definitely! That's basically the majority of the posts up until this point. Bigoted Whites (if the shoe doesn't fit don't wear it) using this as an example to say "SEE! I told you Blacks were bad!" and rant from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

The sun has already set here and it will be dark in less than 30 minutes. Once night falls this will get worse.
