These were all peaceful demonstrations and a cop/peacekeeper allowed a gun to take an innocent life. This is not crowd control. Why are police carrying live ammunition to a protest by innocent citizens.
When exercising crowd control there are choices to be made, carrying live ammunition into a crowd of innocent people is not one of them.

The peacekeepers are a vigilante group called “50501 Movement.” It sounds as though the peacekeeper was actually there to cause a mass killing event rather than defending a peaceful demonstration.

I think the facts behind peacekeepers and the death of a bystander is clear as mud. Who the heck is the shooter? Why hasn’t Salt Lake City defined what happened here?
There are far too many guns on the street. Cities need to take example of New York City on New Years Eve and provide for safe demonstrations rather than opportunities for mass murder. There has to be better control of the danger in society right now.
Ordinances, local ordinances, must be passed to facilitate police to provide safe venues where participants are screened for guns, knives, or any other potential mass murder weapon.
The gun wackos are on the loose. We saw it in the deaths of Congress persons and we are seeing it in Salt Lake City. The “tone” of the country is hate and fear. It does not breed safety. There are methods to bringing this under control while protecting police and maintaining our democracy.
Americans recognized enhanced control over violence after September 11, 2001. They will recognize it this time, too. They will cooperate. We are dealing with domestic terrorists and their actions are beginning to become common place. This is mimicking. It is fueled online.
