A Pinkerton shooting someone at a demonstration, how 19th century.

That incident was a collection of bad decisions by all involved. It seems to be a case of when egos collide. The video is like a perverse display of the force spectrum, I’ll probably see it in a ConEd class next year. They went from verbal to hands on to less than lethal and lethal in no time.

I don’t know where all this is headed, but I don’t think it’s anyplace good. There are a lot of angry people out there, and they keep getting angrier. Some just seem to be angry for the sake of being angry. I suspect this will get much worse after Nov 3rd, as one side or the other will be much angrier.

The novelty has really worn off of 2020. I’d say I can’t wait for 2021, but I’m not so sure it’s going to be an improvement.
