What a shame that such a nice community has been under siege by some bad actors.
Police tactics:
Hey, let’s take all our troops, ammo, weapons, tanks, heavy artillery, dive bombers, etc. and focus on those folks with kids walking down Ocean Ave. carrying signs! I mean–what could possibly go wrong elsewhere?
I agree. How could the Police ignore over 2 hours of systematic looting, three blocks from the Police Station and four blocks from Police gathered to control the peaceful march along Ocean? I have no problem with the ordinary cops but it is time to reexamine the role of leadership. They appear to have dropped the ball. Big time. Not acceptable.
