I am thoroughly convinced that nobody reads the articles anymore. It clearly states the reasons why the police did not arrest these people. [quote]With protesters acting peacefully, local and state police agreed that low level arrests could cause a riot, so they decided instead to defy Cuomo and Jennings. “We don’t have those resources, and these people were not causing trouble,” a state official said. “The bottom line is the police know policing, not the governor and not the mayor.”[/quote] They would have gladly arrested the protestors if they had the manpower.
