Thank you Mayor Wheeler and PPD. Nipped this in bud early and effectively, in an appropriate manner given what we saw can happen (November) and given how quickly these things can escalate once objects start being thrown, bridges are blocked, etc. Well done.

...And I also love how that one clown claims to not have been part of the protest and just downtown celebrating his anniversary, yet there are pictures of him standing in the middle of the street / directly disobeying police orders to clear the street. Are you kidding me?!
