. . . so no need to use any aggressive or other efforts by police to enforce one

I think this is a correct move, if true. So many youth are just not going indoors on this summer night or any other.

I'd also like to see much less confrontational moves for what is essentially jaywalking or standing in the street. People are testing the boundaries they are setting for these protests and it's a wise move to make the state and police less of an obstacle to those.

retreat back to their stations and stay there for the evening. The crowd will probably peacefully disperse if there is no one to fight with. Then the media can just display the empty streets. Then everybody will be happy again.
