Emily, I'll take your word over the MSM seven days a week. Your portrayal of CHOP zone sounds both inspired and fragile. I can only hope that its stakeholders are guarding against agenda driven saboteurs because if this experiment is successful it may change the way the policing world works forever.

My only qualifier is that nature abhors a vacuum and if some bad actor perceives an opportunity for plunder or violence, it will take place.

Don't discount some false flag violence by parties with malicious intent.

If this model is to last there will need to be some party entrusted to fulfilling the will of the stakeholders with the use of force.

That will be your moment of truth. The opportunity is both exciting and scary
