What I really don't like about this situation is the utterly gutless mayor of Portland could solve this problem tomorrow by imposing a 6 PM curfew for the area effected and arrest anyone breaking the curfew. This is no longer a protest, it's a battlefield and the mayor won't stop it for god only knows what reason.
It is not that simple. You can't arrest thousands of people. There are not enough jail space to hold them.
And that is what Trump does not get about "dominating the streets". The more forceful he gets the more the protestors will push back.
Bull Conner thought he could end the protest problem by turning dogs and firehoses on protestors in Birmingham. How'd that work out for him?
