Didn’t watch football last night (I’ve pretty much given up watching since I’d be more worried about players getting hurt than enjoying the skill involved), but did notice this morning that Ohio State fans rioted in the streets after they won.

Police use tear gas on rioters after Ohio State win but no arrests despite multiple arsons and trespass incidents http://t.co/AN6bfSi6pJ

Let me repeat that. We had yet another sports-related riot. Fires started. Tear gas used.

And yet not a single arrest.

How exactly is that possible? No arrests?

Meanwhile, protesters were arrested and detained by police in Ferguson for walking in the street or for standing still for more than a few seconds time (which a court later ruled was an unconstitutional restriction on free assembly by the STL county police).

Hmmm, could it be the racial makeup of the crowds? It seems to me that police let the fans protest and riot (what else do you call it when multiple fires are set, rocks thrown?) but they violently interceded when peaceful protests occurred in Ferguson.
