The man was no innocent lamb, but a known criminal with a history of drug and violent offenses. He was causing trouble on the street and attacked the officers.

Big shift in leadership here. It'll be interesting to see if Al-Hayya sticks to the old playbook or tries a completely different strategy now that he's at the helm. Do you think this change in leadership will actually move the needle on negotiations?
