It feels .... punitive. We are going to punish police for what happened. Feels very misguided to me since the alleged killer was acting alone. Some people are upset obviously, but punishing the police force is not going to bring back dead people. And of course it raises the question as to what is the criteria to let police back into the march? Who sets the criteria ? On whose authority? And is the criteria realistic?
