There were reports that police failed to follow plans agreed to in advance to maintain safety during the scheduled demonstration. Were the police slow to control things because of mind control as well?

The lackadaisical performance of the police during some of the events was also a consequence of mind control, as you saw intuitively. This happens again and again, when there are opportunities to sow discord and create confusion, chaos, and suffering, to ramp up pressures and divisions. Mind control was used to keep the police in abeyance so they were not as effective as they could have been to keep the warring factions at a distance from one another and prevent the general mayhem that caused a quite rapid escalation of tension and the outbreak of violence that took over the crowd. This was entirely avoidable, and it was very telling that a sympathetic conservative commented there were no shootings. Despite the heavy armament brought to the demonstration by the white supremacists, no one lost their self-control and took another life. It was only the sole act of killing by vehicle that did so. This shows you that the individuals involved were not truly savages willing to do anything to cause trouble. They were actually being sensible in not using the extreme step of firing weapons at opponents who were, after all, only expressing their viewpoints. So this also illustrates that the mind control has limits in what it can do. There are always instructions given for such gatherings to do whatever is necessary to prevail and violence is encouraged. So when people do not stoop to violence, especially in a legal sense, that is a win for humanity and the spiritual brakes that are often present to keep the damage contained, by imposing feedback from the conscience and counter suggestions about other alternatives so people do not go off the deep end totally. The police were held in abeyance deliberately. This is a common strategy and will happen more and more, as there are growing cover stories handed to them by the media in questioning their fairness, objectivity, and potentially racist views. The police are reluctant to take rash action when they might be judged, and so given half a chance will opt to bide their time and be passive so they themselves are not accused of precipitating violence. The problem, of course, is that lack of action on their part leaves people free to do their worst, and this may result in violence all the quicker. So the ideal would be to have no manipulation whatsoever, and then people would have their own selves to answer to, and to answer for.
