Emotions run strong in public discourse. It is important for all parties to make good choices and follow the Golden Rule. Also important is paying attention to these stories and following them through the legal system. Getting all the facts and information is essential. Contact your local police, fire, and emergency service authorities.
According to the authors of Civil Unrest Resources, "• During times of political uncertainty, it is important to keep an eye on the news... • If a large-scale demonstration is expected, your best course of action is to stay home and avoid the area altogether... • Keep in mind that demonstrations can take place with little or no notice and, in extreme cases, quickly turn violent. Exercise caution if you find yourself unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings."
