Consider what steps, if any, you need to take in your AO should people get foolish.

And don't forget the orders given to NYPD forces in 1991 by Mayor David Dinkins' administration during the first 36 hours of the Crown Heights riots/pogrom in 1991:

"Let them get it out of their systems - officers are to retreat when confronted by crowds".

Those were the orders that my cop friends received, on the line while wearing riot gear, for the first day-and-a-half of the "rage". Not until Mayor Dinkins was being excoriated in the media were the police allowed to put down the riot.

Alea iacta est.
