Well, normally you would not see that type of lawlessness in Manhattan when Bloomberg was running things, but now with deblasio who knows. You might even catch him out in the crowd throwing things at the police.
Folks that attended the game were only safe because they made them stay inside the stadium while violence and destruction was occurring. The the folks outside the stadium were being attacked and businesses were having their windows smashed. This happened on the Saturday.
Are you talking about the fans sitting at bars throwing things at the protestors and taunting them?
"I know a small group of protesters and a small group of baseball fans started whipping bottles at one another and brawling. . . I don’t know who threw something first, but I heard a shift to jeers and boos from the people drinking and ran right over to it and saw beers being tossed from behind a gate that keeps Pickles drinkers from standing in the road and bottles being whipped back at the drinkers. Some people at Pickles stood up and moved toward the protesters though they were protected by the gate. Then, protesters pulled away the gate protecting Pickles customers from the street. Men from Pickles and elsewhere charged toward the protesters and the protesters charged the Pickles customers."

Bull.
Yeah, because it's so unbelievable that Obama's kids would ever try to carjack someone.

I am talking about the rioters that attacked random people and threw chairs through business windows. It wasn't a small group that did all that.
It looks like the zookeepers have their hands full. The sad thing is that this video was from Saturday and the mayor did nothing while things escalated.
As the protectors of the black community and the routine beneficiary of 90%+ of black votes, what are the "solutions" that the Democratic party is currently promoting to fix this mess, other than maintaining the status quo by spending more money in the same ways that have clearly failed over the last 50 years?
I will suggest to you that the Democrats are not even currently proposing any concrete "solutions" to this mess. Just more of the same, the continuation of the status quo.

Exactly! A lot of damage could have been prevented.
