'Space to destroy'. They can "work it out" while waiting for bail money…

After a violent night of unrest around the country following the officer involved shootings in Louisiana, Minnesota, and the ambush on police officers in Dallas, CNN reporter Victor Blackwell asks the ridiculous on News Day Sunday, “How does the department get to that point of saying, “we just need to clear this road and arrest them for breaking whatever law?””
Blackwell’s concern was for that of DeRay McKesson a leader in the Black Lives Matter movement who, along with roughly 125 others, was arrest for “simple obstruction of a highway,” according to Blackwell. He pointed to how New York City police allowed non-permitted protesters to shut down streets, and disrupt the city, as the example for how police should respond.
CNN’s Law Enforcement Analyst Art Roderick blamed it on Baton Rouge PD’s inexperience in dealing with large protests as the problem, “New York is probably a lot more used to this type of protest. And they know how to handle this particular situation. Baton Rouge, maybe not so much.” He went on to argue that what the protesters really need is some space, “they're going to learn through this process that, “you know, even though they might not be permitted, let's let them protest. Let's let them work it out.””
