two takes on the same situation

This is an interesting look at the "peaceful" protests in Athens the other night.  Note that the first part is a report from the Police Chief and the rebuttal at the end is from one of the Athens Commissioners, who uses a lot of buzzwords and sounds like a virtue-signaling fool.  I find the Chief's account to be more believable, though like all police reports, it is deliberately bland by design and probably leaves out a good bit.

What's most interesting to me is the matter of fact description of the planning that went into the outside rioters' actions.  Look at what they brought to the game: gas masks, bricks, leaf blowers (to blow away tear gas), firearms, and so forth.  Who does that if they're planning a "peaceful" demonstration? 

I'm certain that these scenes were repeated across many cities and are probably planned for more.  Note especially the Chief's assertion that the plan was to tie up the police at the riot while another group broke into gun stores, which in fact did happen in Athens at Academy Sports.

These are not peaceful protests, but are premeditated violent uprisings, and those posting on social media today in all black with various idiotic hashtags are ignorant chucklefucks who need to shut the hell up already.
