Take it easy on the police tomorrow. Their bosses prioritize property over people, but generally cops on the beat don't. Usually police riot because they're scared.

Booker wasn't killing time merely to inconvenience others; he was using it to persuade an audience. That's why his speech became so captivating and why millions tuned in to watch.
