so far? no, not yet. protests that devolve into riots and involve police telling them to disperse for hours until they a) start forcing them, or b) still do nothing has been the trend in the aftermath of Ferguson. ironically i think the only instance that a crowd did disperse when told to was Spencer's. but this? right now i'd consider this to still be sub-Milo-at-Berkeley. have to go beyond that still for the even more violent ones but it has a good chance of getting there.

biggest concern i've got isn't in cops but in the fact that we've now got two opposing sides that have been having skirmishes with each other and one got a very clear victory last night. this entire thing was bait, that's the frustrating part. any and every opposition should've just let them do their thing; you let them rally and and let them hang themselves with their own rope. if you do the whole "let me counterprotest!" gig you're just giving them a win because it'll be framed as either ineffective or worse, beat down commie scum. them chanting "FUCK YOU F******" has a higher chance of damaging them than any number of people there. you already know this is going to have a lot of the worst elements, all you have to do is present them, not physically engage them (not including things like undercover interviews or something, that could work too).
