Why Were The Police Held Back In Charlottesville?

Published:

Violence is not a way to get any point across.

Also failing to allow law enforcement to do its job when they were in full riot gear sure sounds like setting things up so a narrative can be railroaded through.

Why Were The Police Held Back In Charlottesville?

"....Law enforcement was on hand at the dueling demonstrations on Saturday, decked out in riot gear and looking prepared for the worst. Except they weren’t allowed to do their job. Police on the scene were reported to have been ordered to “not intervene until given command to do so,” according to the ACLU. That kept them from suppressing the numerous scuffles that broke out.

When police were ordered to disperse the alt-right rally, that act directed the white nationalists into the antifa demonstrators, leading to further street brawls. Police didn’t seem to try to get in between the two groups or suppress the fights.

As ProPublica reported, state police and National Guardsmen mostly stood aside and watched as the violence grew worse.

This appears to be a direct result of what appears to be a stand down order from higher-ups.

When the alt-right rally was mostly dispersed, police still seemed a missing presence in the city as the leftists kept demonstrating, some armed with aluminum bats and other weapons. This is the scene where the white nationalist drove his car through pedestrians, with police seemingly far away from the action.

That absence allowed for a female reporter who was an eyewitness to the intentional crash to be allegedly punched in the face by antifa. The reason: because she was press. ....."

".... But there is a surefire way to prevent further deaths and serious injury: let the police do their job to enforce law and order.

Both McAuliffe and Signer should be taken to task for police inaction in Charlottesville — and blaming militiamen isn’t going to cut it as an excuse."

konane, et al-

This is a replication of what happened in the Los Angeles 3 day rampaging riots when the police were ordered to stand down by city & state officials-
Rioters were stopped finally when, afraid, that this wanton destructive & murderous action would be copy cated, the Clinton admin ordered the Federal Troops up from Camp Pendelton, CA who decisively intervened.
None of the then active authorities were ever charged with obvious recorded dereliction of duty to protect the public in the face of the enemy. Especially the Korean community was racially targeted mauled, pillaged & murdered without ever receiving justice, recognition or compensation for their loses :-(

I don't know if it's true, but I read that prior to getting into his car, the driver who slammed into the crowd had been hit in the head with a rock and his car beaten with bats.

Thanks Mike. I heard he was being assailed also. I hope a thorough investigation will commence and not gloss things over.
