You can cite and arrest, you don't have to detain. Also, accelerate the arraignment process for all such citations and start drowning violators in fines and community service hours. If no spine Mayor Jeffries had done this long ago these events would have ceased long ago. People could still protest, peacefully, in other areas of the city.

Then keep hitting (not literally) them for violating the law. Individuals will tire out much faster than the government.
Quote: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?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't those protests peaceful?
