The best practices for crowd control are well known and can be accessed in numerous reports from entities like the Center for Policing Equity and from our own Attorney General’s Office. Police should be in contact with protest organizers. Peaceful protest, whether or not authorized by a permit, should not be disrupted by police. Officers should be prepared to engage in verbal de-escalation and tactical positioning, and they must have patience. Crowd dispersal orders must be lawful, audible, specific, and allow time to comply.

A comprehensive after-action report would answer many of the obvious questions that come out of the events from May 24th. Were the police in contact with organizers for both Mayday USA and with Refuse Fascism and the other organizations that were involved in the counter protests? Why did the police line up to protect the Mayday USA event, rather than presenting a more neutral posture?
