I am embarrassed for America that anyone would jump from there has been a shooting at Chaz to wanting them to kill each other. What about less drastic steps? Like what Seattle is doing — working with the protesters to see how the police can safely enter the area when needed. It is in working together, EVERYONE, that we can make America great.

For those who are interested, this is the “rest of the story” from Washington Post:
Jones said the response by the protesters, sentinels and medics was an improvement over police action, which could have further escalated the situation.
“Last night was a complete success story [in dealing] with an active shooter,” Jones said. “Usually in an active-shooter situation when police are involved, they let the shooter run out of bullets and then they get in there. That did not happen here. As soon as there were shots fired, people got actively involved, and there was a medical team on site immediately. We didn’t need sirens and more guns to get the job done.”
This sentence says it all.
Those responsible for law and order in all of our cities and towns having to negotiate when it is safe for the police to enter a lawless take over portion of a public area.

If one is a supporter so be it.
Please don't expect the rest of us (98++%) to agree.
