They had shields, shin guards, and other riot gear with them, including at least one smoke grenade," Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said Saturday during a press conference. "It is clear to us, based on the gear that the individuals had with them...that they came to riot downtown."In addition to the riot gear, police found "paperwork" among the group that appeared similar to a military operations plan.
