Not allowing vandalism or blocking of transit and freeways does not a "neo-nazi", "communist" or "police state" make. Simply making sure residents, businesses and the protesters themselves are safe is part of the job description for Wheeler. Allowing the inmates to run the asylum has only negative consequences.

While I am not a fan of the protests I do support their right to voice their opinion. Wheeler has laid down the rules in advance. Choosing not to follow the rules brings upon the consequences of doing so. That is more than fair to all parties.

Sidebar - Thank you to all the PPB officers who show great restraint and keep everyone safe during events like these. While some may hate you I for one appreciate all you do to keep the city safe.
