administrative people who run the police department made a horrendous mistake and they have to take responsibility for what happened here. the first rock thrown is the first person to get pea rested and everyone after that until you put an end to it. then you can address the situation. but during the course of something like this. people jumping you have and down on police cars and people throwing rocts at police, you cannot get ahead of it unless you put that problem down. bill: we talked to our fox crews who were out late last night. when they were watching athletes and police officers stand there watching them do that. they asked the comes why are you not stopping this. their answer to our fox crews was talk to the mayor. what s that about? that s absolutely right. they were not permitted to do
