Well, I have great respect for our military and the role of the military, but the role of the military is not to police the streets of our municipalities. That's the job of the police.
I can also tell you that we have a long and I believe successful history in peacefully managing large demonstrations and events. I think we have a good reputation for managing very large demonstrations peacefully, to facilitate lawful, peaceful protests. I would hearken back to the year before, when we had hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets during the Tamil demonstrations. Although we faced unique challenges with those demonstrations, they were facilitated peacefully, without injury, without damage to property.
Throughout the entire week—it was about a 10-day period—we were able to facilitate lawful, peaceful protests throughout that entire period--very substantial protests. Even on the Saturday of the summit, there were tens of thousands of people out on our streets exercising their free and democratic right, which we respect and support and facilitate, to protest peacefully. We were walking with them; we were working collaboratively with them in order to keep that peaceful.
Unfortunately, a group with a different intent, an intent to engage not in protest but rather criminality and violence on our streets, launched their attack on more vulnerable areas of the city from within that larger group, making it very challenging to continue to facilitate lawful, peaceful protests while simultaneously trying to control a mob.
