Watching what's going on in Philadelphia right now.


Why do the cops leave a bunch of their cars unattended
in the road, making them easy targets for the rioters
to light on fire, bash the windows in or even, as was
just shown live, someone trying to steal one?

One guy with bolt cutters was even wearing a cop's hat.

Crazy


I suppose the serious answer would with only one cop per car, how many
cops should they leave behind to stop the mob from screwing with them.
Maybe they should have bused the cops in and left most of the cars
back at the station.



Don't know if the various departments have insurance on all their
vehicles and if the insurance covers damage like this but, if so,
there are some insurance company execs sweating bullets right now.

All in all ... in all the cities ... it seems like there have been
at least a hundred or more destroyed.
