a reporter for CBC News - Mark Gollom wrote a very good article on the police response.
Terrible and worth a read
In summary:
-the response will become a case study on how not to respond
-military gear, guns, and agressive hebaviour by the police inflame the crowd
-tear gas doesn't work
-if tear gas doesn't work, why is it being used?
-white dudes with German Sheppards bad image
-you have failed as a police force if you call out the National Guard
