The Beverly Hills defense plan turns out to have been tear gas at Rodeo and Santa Monica Blvd. Apparently effective. https://t.co/4IbmW597Co

Turns out would be looters did remove these panels and try to get into the store. Not clear that they did (one report said yes, one said they moved on to Alexander McQueen). https://t.co/7xuxpd5nOV

When you are looting, please maintain a distance of 6 feet at all times.

Just tuned in to local news. Anchors happy that things have calmed down. Meanwhile dozens of people are looting an Adidas store unimpeded in a live shot …

Skeptical. When has 'use diplomacy to change an international organization from the inside' worked? Seems like 'exit' is way more powerful than 'voice'–even if we want to rejoin later. https://t.co/vocrXL9vM3

Is the Floyd killing and subsequent protests/riots a relief from the pandemic for some? 1) Can go outside again! 2) Unlike in pandemic, the roles are familiar. Everyone knows their lines.

Not sure it does. Point is mainly that a standard 'law and order" response isn't always a political winner.. It was in earlier years–but CA Dem candidates who then ran on it in '92 found they got no traction. Also getting at "root causes" doesn't always mean standard liberalism. https://t.co/LLxBCXvkLW

People may be forgetting that the '92 riots seemed to help Clinton even though Bush sent in troops. Clinton wasn't just Law & Order-he seemed to want to get at a root cause (a "culture of poverty and dependence" on welfare) though not in a standard lib way https://t.co/SYNcz34Pkf

Beverly Hills just imposed an 8PM curfew — nobody allowed on the streets.
PS I walked down Rodeo Drive a couple of hours ago. Nothing left to loot. Merch all removed, etc.

Trump doesn't seem to be in control on the riots. He doesn't seem to be in control in the virus fight.** I sense a possible Dem theme! If Biden's team has any chops they'll be able to raise it without alienating liberals or interest groups.
**-or in control of himself [bonus]

But do average Democratic *voters* — as opposed to party leaders thinking strategically — see the quest for more immigration as a driving force behind their votes? I'm unclear on that. Seems important. https://t.co/xD52WX2VpQ

OVERLOOKED? This sentence, in a big NYT piece, seems possibly relevant now–in a good way:
"In the movies, viruses become more deadly. In reality, they usually become less so, because asymptomatic strains reach more hosts."
