Lots of calls to newsroom. Questions why police wont stop looting. Still working to get that info. Highway Patrol plans 2pm news conference

Plenty of militarized cops out in force to harass peaceful protesters and journalists; AWOL when actual looting takes place. According to at least one eyewitness, police also stood idly by during last week’s round of looting, as well. (Source) See the video below:
