    Yeah. Having that captain or whatever there (no idea what the acronym meant) does a lot to hold police accountable.

    But I think the only reason he’s out there on the streets is pressure from Chicago politicians.

    I dont think he’d do it on his own, or that police would be as nonviolent as we saw yesterday without that pressure from Dem politicians to not turn this into a giant shit show.

    Most protests are nonviolent and would stay that way without incitement and outright violence from police through things like kettling.
