Yep.....lots of strange connections and now word is that the police were told to stand down and not attempt to disperse the protesters.
Folks are now asking where the word to stand down came from in the higher echelons, as this might have all been prevented if the police were allowed to do the job of keeping the groups apart in the first place.
