'We could have some trouble brewing': How understaffed police forces across America are bracing for Rittenhouse acquittal: Chicago cancels weekend days off as Portland, LAPD and Washington DC all monitor trial
2021-11-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Chicago PD has canceled officers' requested days off this weekend to 'enhance public safety'

  • The LAPD says it will have 'enough' officers on duty to deal with any potential uprising but is monitoring the trial

  • Portland PD and Washington Metro PD are also watching the verdict

  • Other forces are refusing to confirm what they are doing - if anything - to prepare

  • Rittenhouse, a white teenager, shot and killed two BLM protesters last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin at the height of civil unrest that swept the country

  • There are also fears a verdict could be returned at the same time as one is reached in the case of Ahmaud Arbery's killers

  • The black jogger was shot dead in Georgia by three white men in February 2020

#13  Yeah, this wouldn't be Rittenhouse's fault, its these places which nursed these conditions which ultimately brought about this court case.

#8  Even then there will be riots.

#7  Let's face it. Just like the Derek Chauvin trial, unless Kyle Rittenhouse is convicted of two counts of premeditated murder, and sentenced to death, there will be riots.

#4  Serious question: what exactly do the police do during these types of riots? I do not recall much effort or police intervention.

Actually there are a lot of Former Military and righteous citizens willing to Volunteer their services, be read on to the the RIOT ACT and used as UNARMED backup support personnel.

I personally like to see a modified version of the 1714 UK Riot Act enacted in the USA.

Something that would allow police officers at the RIOT scene to declare physically aggressive mobs to be unlawfully assembled and a threat to public safety.

Allowing the use of force to legally be disperse the Rioting Mob, using any non-lethal short time debilitating means necessary. All without civil or criminal repercussions.

#1  What acquittal?
Haven't you heard of the miraculous dispositive abilities of "enhanced images"?

Just run your generative-adversarial-network-expialidocious* algorithms again and again, and voila!
Guilty verdict guaranteed!
