I saw this yesterday. I think we all saw it coming.
@ Old NFO - I might go so far as to say that self-policing works when the vast majority are law-abiding. I'd go from the argument of self-protection being such a criminal deterrent in society. If there are ten well-armed people in a room together, it doesn't matter if one of them is an a-hole. Frankly, I think that a lot more self-policing would work in our society quite well on a wide-spread level with just a little bit of education and the proper regulations. Perhaps that's naive of me though...

Did the Baltimore P.D. make any arrests? Or were they told to leave "the Peace-Loving Protestors" alone?
Interesting when the total hands off approach is taken by LEOs isn't it... Self policing ONLY works if everyone is law abiding to start with!
Les - Not to my knowledge.
NFO - No kidding.
