You saw that when the police chief killed someone next to him in a movie theatre. And those LEO's should be brought to justice of course.

As for the reporters and rioting (a separate issue to the shooting IMHO). it's not just about protecting the reporters, it's about getting them to move the hell out of the way asap so that police can protect other civilians from harm as well as their property and quell a violent situation. Probably everyone who's ever worked in LE or public safety has had to arrest, detain or physically remove other's who are hindering their efforts to help others. Sometimes in order to do so you have to become physical if they are choosing to disobey the law.

PS Yep I'm still travelling but home at the moment to take care of some stuff/obligations. Will be leaving again soon I hope...like maybe tomorrow ;-)!
Thanks, Spartana. As I've said before, I always love it when you respond to my posts. You have the rare ability to look at a situation like this and remain reasonable. Hope your further travels are safe and fun! Rob
