SAN JOSE -- A day after a melee erupted outside a Donald Trump rally, the San Jose police chief and mayor on Friday defended themselves from a national backlash over their handling of the dramatic and at times violent protest.
On radio talk shows and across social media, some called for Mayor Sam Liccardo's resignation because of his comments suggesting that Trump was to blame for igniting violence, while police were criticized for failing to protect Trump supporters from angry protesters throwing punches, water bottles and traffic cones. Some videos showed those attacks and suggested they were unprovoked, but others showed Trump supporters taunting protesters, ripping their Dump Trump signs and throwing the first punches....

We know that. But that is not the narrative that the news media, with the approval of the Republican Party is espousing. And the goons will continue to escalate the violence until a Trump supporter defends himself and injures a goon or a goon injures himself and blames it on a Trump supporter. Them the media goes 24/7 with the stories they have already filed about how the violent and hateful Trump supporters attacked the peaceful protestors.
I really hope some CC folks don’t happen to walk by one of these events while loaded for bear and are attacked. And if this happens, they’ll have every right to unload on these violent criminal attackers.

It sounds like this POS Mayor is giving AMERICAN CITIZENS to start BEATING THE CRAP out of EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN they see, because they are Provoking Citizens merely by being present in the US ILLEGALLY.
Same goes for the Mayor and the Police, THEY PROVOKED AMERICAN CITIZENS, THEY DESERVE TO BE BEATEN, Dragged out Naked, TARRED AND FEATHERED, After ALL THEY PROVOKED IT!!
Mexicans attacking Americans while American police paid by Americans do nothing.
Any wonder why Trump wins in a landslide?
Petition to remove mayor of San Jose now has over 6000 signatures.

I understand. But it does need to be repeated, that the violent people are going to these Trump rallies. They’re choosing to go to them for the purpose of intimation and violence. The Trump side, which includes kids, the elderly, teens and women, are simply wanting to attend a rally, not go to a brawl where they’ll be physically attacked.
Intimidation too....
After this display of utter crap I no longer want to know the way to San Jose........grrrrrr
Seems like CC’ers need to have many staged outside to protect the attendees when they leave. The police are not doing their jobs so they have no reason to complain. Of course the police would attack the CC’ers.
Exactly!
There needs to be a BIG civil rights lawsuit against the city of San Jose, its mayor, the police chief, and the chief’s subordinates. Last time I looked, southern California was in the U.S.A.
“..Mexicans attacking Americans while American police paid by Americans do nothing....”
And herein lies the problem for LEOs, especially those in these craphole communist bastions. Do they answer to their communist overlords or do they uphold their oath of office?
IF they stand down on something like this, God help em down the road. They’re already being knocked off at random by the BLM crowd. Can you imagine becoming the enemy of an entire heavily-armed society? Right now, most of us would bend over backwards to help a LEO in trouble. However, IF they refuse to defend “law and order”, maybe not so much anymore. Once you lose the trust of society, you’re finished.
If you repeat a lie often enough...
...by a colossal idiot. The chief should be fired...and exiled to mexico.
So we have come from the cop on the corner chastising a yute for stealing an apple - then paying for it and sending the kid on his way
TO
People being told Police can not do much if someone threatens you until they actually carry out their plan.
TO
Illegals attacking citizens in broad daylight with the police observing and saying it didn’t get violent enough?
Then the Chief has the audacity to say the attendees were the cause of their problems with the mobs that gathered to impede the attendees
AND
Then the Mayor BLAMES the headline attraction for having the nerve to come to HIS city...
Best line in whole string here was
Foreign Illegals pounce on tax paying citizens, while cops the tax paying citizens are paying the salary of sit back and watch...
WTF happened to ‘Serve & Protect’?
Bizzarroooo World... Indeed
The city set it up to have the Trump supporters walk through a gauntlet of protestors. The city deserves a class action suit by everyone at the rally. Period.
Right now, most of us would bend over backwards to help a LEO in trouble. However, IF they refuse to defend law and order, maybe not so much anymore. Once you lose the trust of society, youre finished.

This is exactly where they are and had better recognize it and decide carefully.
No kidding.
SJOD has always allowed cinco de mayo celebrations to get waaaay out of hand.
They do not handle large protests well because they don’t want to hurt anyone. Read the police chief’s comment about not being an occupying force....for a long tome they have not been any kind of force at all
