This video has CNN commentators saying that the masked rioters at the recent anti-Milo Yiannopoulos protest at UC Berkeley were probably right wingers:

Meanwhile, this article from a website called “The Ralph Retort” claims that one of the masked rioters has been identified as a UC Berkeley employee. I’m only posting the link, not the actual article, because I don’t consider this source to be credible enough to risk slandering what could in fact be an innocent person. Here’s the link:

Only time will tell if the claims from CNN are true or false.

If the police had actually arrested any of the masked rioters for the assault, vandalism, and arson that they committed, then their names would be reported by the media, and we would know for certain who they were.
Unfortunately, the police arrested exactly zero of the masked rioters who committed assault, vandalism, and arson.
The police did arrest one person for something called “failure to disperse,” which is a “crime” that has no victim, did not hurt anyone, and did not cause any damage to property.
In other words, the police were acting de facto on the side of the masked rioters who committed assault, vandalism, and arson, instead of on the side of the law abiding citizens whom they were supposed to be protecting. This means that some high ranking government official gave the police the order not to arrest any of the criminals. In my opinion, this government official should be charged as an accessory to all of the crimes that happened during this incident.
Yup.
Compare this response to what they did and are still doing to the Bundy’s in Oregon and Nevada.
Who did NO violence.
See any traps the cops set to kill the terrorists on Telegraph Av?
Nope. They’re untouchables, the Communist street gangs, the political muscle for the Bay area gangster government.
I don’t think it’s so much the police themselves as it is the mayor and the police chief Chief of Berkeley Who of course would be liberal democrats. They were the ones calling all the shots here. The rank-and-file police were probably pissed off to no end that they couldn’t Intervene.
“The Ralph Retort”
= = =
To “Ralph” is to Puke
Not at all. It tells you which side the governor, mayor, and police chief staff puke are on.
Another way to look at this - the police will not be drawn into a highly documented mini- Kent State crisis. The rioters seek images of fighting authority.
Instead of “To Protect and Serve”, the Berkeley Police Chief has on the side of his car “To Protest and Service”
“CNN says masked rioters at UC Berkeley were probably right wingers...”
Huh? I doubt one “right winger” is within 100 miles of that place.
Jim hoft has it too
The mayor of Berkley ordered the cops to stand down. This has already been proven.
But considering Berkley is one of the most militant far left wing areas in the country, then it makes sense that most employees in that town support the rioters.
Refuse to arrest vandals, you just encourage more and more lawlessness
The people of Berkeley should have a riot tax imposed on them.
Consider it insurance. 5 bucks per 100 assessed value.
Yes, and that applies to every college campus and major city in America. We best ready to protect and defend ourselves.
That's what Hancock, Bates and Arreguin want
Wrong to blame LEOs, it is the stooopid libtard politicians who put them in an impossible situation. If they started making arrests in Berserkly the situation would escalate and the pols & prosecutors & judges would not have their backs!! It was a total no-win situation for the police.
p.s. Berserkly had some 2011 incident in which the police were totally undermined and criticized for “over-reacting” etc. to a crowd problem. Politicians have tied their hands.
Tells us which side the mayor and the police chief are on.The police, of course, have to follow orders.
Google Ian Dabney Miller. He’s the masked thug orchestrating beating up pro-Trump people at U.C. Berkeley. He’s a left-wing anarchist.
And he is a U.C. Berkeley employee! Nothing to do with right-wingers or Trump. This was done by U.C. Berkeley staff!
Yes it must be very frustrating standing there being spit on, people cursing you, throwing dangerous objects with the intent to harm you and your brother officers and having to watch the mob destroy the city you are sworn to protect.
Anyone who thinks the are the side of the mob have never known a cop.
I will tell you what they were thinking, they wanted to do a Spartan charge into the heart their lines and engage in some high quality STICK-TIME.
Police probably shouldn’t be used on the street. Better would be snipers placed in tall buildings. There would be fewer injuries worth caring about that way.
This nonsense would end if the victims assured the crap out of the mayor and the city of Berkeley and the school.
