Those aren't protesters. Those are opportunistic criminals and they should not be included in the group.
I think that the attorney general went out of his way to present both the Department of Justice report, and he is right that there was not a prosecutable case under federal law which is a much higher threshold.
People want to have faith in the system and know that if an officer takes a life that there is some level of accountability and people are not feeling that they -- that is happening.
I am in favor of community policing. I think what we have now is something that looks more like an occupying force.
