Even if there were "few people who resorted to vandalism" ONE was one too many. The interesting thing was that not only the reporters, but the police and others were actively taking videos of the vandals....With any luck at all, there will be pictures of them, and either they will be charged this time, or the next time, they decide to break the law.

Peaceful demonstrations are one thing....breaking the law is something entirely different. If the city officials had been more forceful earlier, no doubt there would have been plenty of negative things said....but the way things turned out, most people who see any of the actual clips as they were happening for hours on end, know just how much restraint the police used! The police did a great job, IMO!
