Like most Americans who are watching the fall of our imperfect society from the comfort, convenience and relative safety of their living rooms, I spent most of the weekend glued to live TV news and social media coverage of this weekend's relatively-peaceful protests and demonstrations, and the "Anarchy Meets Police State" live theatre that followed. It's been a surreal thing to watch unfold.
Locally, here in Oklahoma City, the media coverage has been a mixed bag. I think they were caught a bit caught off guard by the escalation of the events at 23rd and Classen on Saturday night, but by the end of the evening did a decent job covering the bursts of chaos at police headquarters.
