Episode Overview
During a riot control briefing, Deputy Chief Doug Smith warns about looming demonstrations by groups like the Skinheads and the Lawyers Guild at 3:30 PM near the federal building, expecting a turnout of 300-500 individuals. Lacking a parade permit, demonstrators plan to provoke police, including graffiti and throwing rocks. An undercover female officer blends in as a punk goth. As protests commence, chants against the war echo, and tensions rise, resulting in vandalism and multiple arrests. Meanwhile, in a separate incident, police respond to a street fight involving accusations and a potential weapon, but conflicting stories hinder resolution. Later, a violent altercation leaves one man injured, prompting EMS intervention as bystanders watch anxiously.
