re: #30 Belafon

While a lot of your premise is correct, I think in this case it had to do with the size of the crowd. They were actually acting reasonable in this case, trying to deescalate.

I agree, de-escalation was a reasonable thing. It’s almost always a more reasonable thing. I’m not faulting them for that. It’s just that they would have had no hesitation firing on a darker crowd.
