at approximately 6:15 p.m., as reports of vandalism, looting, and physical attacks continued to come in, moulin elected to "take the information", but not to respond with personnel to restore order or rescue people in the area. moulin was relieved by a captain, ordered only to assess the florence and normandie area, and, again, not to attempt to deploy officers there. meanwhile, tur continued to cover the events in progress live at the intersection. from overhead, tur described the police presence at the scene around 6:30 p.m. as "none".
