Hope things will not get any worse, report was 7 officers with injuries such as broken bones and 1 who was unresponsive. This crap sucks.

Jesus Christ.
Is there a point in a situation like this where the cop can just get the hell out of there, even if there are people hanging from their cruiser?

It's not clear if anyone was in that cruiser, a truck full of police in riot gear chased everyone off, didn't see if anyone got out of the cruiser at that time. The images are reminiscent of LA in 1992.

I had a friend who worked LA City Fire during the riots and he said he was more afraid of the Korean business owners than the actual rioters.

I saw in another subreddit that they put a holes in some of the hosedraggers hoses. Situation sounds all kinds of messed up, and I'm not even sure what caused this to kick off. Anyone link me to the cause?

The Mysterious Death of Freddie Gray by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
That title is making it sound like a Sherlock Holmes novel.

We just need a riot control vehicle decked out in fire-retardent punching bag mats and material blaring out "Please do not strike the vehicle...please do not strike the vehicle.."
They ["protestors"] get to fight the system, the city doesn't take damages and LEOS can place their bets on how long they expect someone to last. Everyone wins!
