Is anyone shooting at people? Did I miss something?
And to another posters point, would they let people of color carry firearms?

I'm worried about reports on DU but not elsewhere that I see in the press that people's cell phones are taken if they record what authorities are doing, and those people are being arrested. This is serious and must be stopped.

Where are these people taken and do they get out?

We have a few more levels of emergency before it gets to shooting. Not saying it won't get there.
