How to Handle a Riot

I covered the rioting in Lancaster PA here. Today we’re learning about how they were handled there.

The police and district attorney in Lancaster have been extremely proactive. The police have been making targeted arrests while the DA is levying heavy charges and requesting high bail.

Black Lives Matter activists in Lancaster are all skittish and afraid of getting arrested because they just learned that bail is being set at 1 million dollars. Lancaster is not Portland. https://t.co/wGh0K6D9KN

Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams has leveled heavy charges against the demonstrators and Judge Bruce Roth set bail for each of the accused at $1 million each on Monday night.

Clearly the reaction in Lancaster is very different to the reactions in Portland and Seattle. No catch and release here.
