April 29, 20179 yr From what I've seen and heard, there were several times when things could've taken a turn for the worse but the police were quickly able to intervene. Pikeville PD, KSP, and the Pike County Sheriff deserve a ton of credit for their performance today. Absolutely....

April 30, 20179 yr Cannot be stated enough how large of a role law enforcement played in today's events. Very well prepared and very much responsible for keeping violence minimized. Primary reason today ended peacefully and other recent events such as Berkeley and D.C. got out of hand. I knew local enforcement wouldn't allow the same types of things to happen, us hill folk cannot allow it lol.
April 30, 20179 yr I'm amazed that this kind of stuff still goes on. Just amazed really. You know that ole saying, "you can't fix stupid", I feel it really applies to the protesters or demonstrators or whatever you want to call those idiots.

They have to travel to find people who share in their EXTREME(ly stupid) way of thinking. So while it still exists at least it's not nearly on the same scale it once was.
