"Jack" Young issued a statement decrying "pockets of ruffians" who marred an otherwise peaceful demonstration and asking "anyone not interested in peacefully seeking justice to please leave our city." He also thanked the protesters who tried to intervene when others started to break the law.

This is not the protesters. These are people rioting and destroying property and looting. We have to put an end to it.”

Well lets see....we have a black female mayor, a black city council president and a well know civil rights minister calling for order........and dam if the folks will listen.
