Salt Lake City mayor ‘implores’ for peace yesterday after destructive protest, SALT LAKE CITY — After downtown protests again turned violent Thursday, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said she won’t be issuing a citywide curfew, but is begging for peace ahead of what city officials expect will be more protests and civil unrest.

“We are prepared ... whatever it might bring,” Mendenhall told the Deseret News and KSL editorial boards on Friday, adding that the city is partnering with state officials in their preparations for more unrest.

“We aren’t going to underestimate the potential of the protests,” she said. “And I implore people to stop hurting people and to stop breaking things, because it’s not affecting change whatsoever.”

Police Chief Mike Brown who took a knee to protesters the other day, is now whining. "Several protesters were arrested after Police Chief Mike Brown declared the protest an “unlawful assembly” once they began vandalizing the office".

So is Democrat Mayor Erin Mendenhall(see article).

begging for peace ahead of what city officials expect will be more protests and civil unrest.

Why are there going to be more protests and civil unrest? Did another man get unjustly killed? Or do they just expect the violence to get worse and worse until the prophecies in the Book of Mormon are fulfilled - that we are now ripe enough to kill each other off until no one is left in the land?

This is terrible news. I’ve only heard that there were peaceful protesters who were being good citizens by social distancing. Maybe the Mayor is mistaken? Or even a white suprematist? *shudders*

Just tell them to be nice and peaceful, that's the ticket.

Yes, like AMLO's drug cartel policy in Mexico - "Abrazos no balazos" or "hugs not gunshots." It's like political leaders around the world are all coordinating stupidity.
