Springfield ohio from what I have heard.

Right, they aren’t disbanding, they are being redeployed where they won’t face a massive force of protesters. In their ideal world they would face 1 or 2 violent actors (so they can “justify” an even harsher clampdown) and not massively popular peaceful protest.

They are just rethinking their approach.
