Yeah, I agree. It was very questionable to not arrest him the instant he got fired, and inexcusably stupid to not bring him into custody yesterday.

My understanding is that he still hasn't been brought into custody. In that case it makes attempting to stop the protests through authoritarian means instead of addressing the original problem makes it... rough.

    Yeah, it's completely mystifying. The mayor has "called for" the guy's arrest - can't he just order his arrest? Can't the governor do the same?

      This is not how legal jurisdictions and due process work. I'm not an expert, but if the suspect has fled to another state at this point, this is likely a federal matter that will need FBI involvement.

      But, I'm glad you two came to an understanding. Gives me hope.
