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

BLM rioting broke out in Lancaster PA in the wake of a fatal officer involved shooting yesterday.
The Lancaster DA released bodycam footage of the incident. The decedent was clearly attacking the officer with a knife before he was fatally shot. WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES.
The riots started before all the details were known, but continued after the footage was released. The decedent had a criminal history of stabbing people. In 2019, he was arrested after stabbing four people multiple times, including a 16-year-old boy.
