    Not tear gas. But protesters are throwing back the canisters. That's smart.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      CNN just said the media has permission to be there. What changed?

        Probably clarification of freedom of press or something? Or maybe to have video backup of what is actually happening?

          Not sure about that second part though. They said there was a 10 PM curfew. To not enforce it basically removes all authority the police have. It's like telling your child you're going to punish them if they cross a line, then they cross a line.
          Problem is to enforce it reinforces the view that the police/city don't care about what the protesters have to say. Even if it is a primarily small group of agitators out to cause problems, there are still going to be average people just out and about who will be encouraged to resist or fight back because it creates an "us vs them" mentality.

          It's a no win situation for anyone other than the news media.

            I get that, but there's a proper forum for that. 10 pm in the middle of the streets is not that forum.

              Idiot on camera, or tried to be.

              Thinking media said, "Let us cover this, but we will obey all your orders." Cops said, "Okay, we can do that."

                One of the MSNBC reporters is standing practically in the barricade line (he couldn't get his equipment moved by the time they marched up to him) and reported that he saw protesters throwing the smoke bombs into their own crowd and at the cops. He hasn't seen anything come from the police.

                      No one should be "out and about". Get the hell off the streets.

                        I EVER so slightly disagree. I think a little escalation is needed. I'm hearing "moving forward 5 feet every 10 minutes." Should be a little quicker than that. Be serious about this. Give them an inch, they'll take a foot.

                          Second MSNBC reporter confirms it's just a tiny handful of a**holes who are running up, throwing sh*t at the police, and running back into the group and laugh.

                          Baltimore PD doing a darn good job of just holding their own and taking the abuse.

                            No. **** that. We don't need escalation. Crowds are starting to disperse. There is no violence. There is absolutely no reason to escalate

                              The former BALT commish says this is why he hates curfews. You have to fully enforce it, or not. There is no "kinda." They chose curfew, so deal with it.

                                I'd arrest this numbskull approaching the cops and yelling.
