But isn't it just as triggering to have police in uniform maintaining law and order?
( but are people going to be triggered? Who said they will be triggered? What do the families and friends of the victims say? )
The arrogance also bothers me. I read the articles and no where does it say the board consulted family and friends of the victims. The board also assumes the public and family and friends would be triggered and assume they know best how to handle the situation.
Which of the articles you've read use the word "triggered", because none that I've read say that. Isn't it also an assumption to say the families weren't consulted? None of us know that, but it should be kept in mind that at the time the request for police not to march in uniform, the victims' bodies had not yet been found which you'd imagine would have amplified the hurt for the families and in the wider community.
I have no skin in this game, the only reason I replied to OP was because I happened to be reading this article about it.
