What do you do in situations where community protests serve
several functions for the community organizations, and they don't want to stop the protests?
Answer:
I haven't run into any of that myself. I know out in California, in the Taisha Miller case
where police shot her through the car window, the community wanted to continue protest
activities because, I think, they were dissatisfied with the internal investigation, or dissatisfied
with the Justice Department's decision not to intervene. I don't know the full extent of what our
approach to them was, but there were continuous protests. Our job, what they did out there was
to facilitate the protests, was to keep the protests from being violent. So it was working with the
police and the community to assure peaceful protests. I don't know what the end result was.
