So cs, gas, pepper balls, a whole litany of less lethal devices were used to ensure that our agents, those agitators and rioters and the public were safe and that we continue to conduct that mission. Citizens were failed twice yesterday. First is, as I said, the response from Minneapolis Police Department and other local agencies. Missing in action. That's what you call missing in action when fellow law enforcement officers are in need. Missing in action. Unconscionable. And then the second part of that is these criminal illegal aliens that were left back out on the streets. (11:24–11:37)
