10 Arrested in Berkeley, Elderly Man Assaulted Following Violent Anti-Trump Protest
Breitbart ^ | 3/4/2017 | CHARLIE NASH

Posted on 03/05/2017 5:44:50 AM PST by PreciousLiberty

Ten people were arrested in Berkeley, California on Saturday following an anti-Trump protest that sought to counter a march in support of President Trump.

“A total of 10 people were arrested, including five for battery, four for assault with a deadly weapon and one for resisting arrest,” reported The Marin Independent Journal on Saturday. “Police reported items confiscated among the combatants were: ‘metal pipes, bats, 2x4s and pieces of wood. A group with bricks was detained, and their bricks confiscated.'”

UFC veteran and professional MMA fighter Jake Shields was even forced to rescue a man who was being assaulted by left-wing rioters after police allegedly refused to help.

“Like fifteen people were trying to attack him and others were cheering them on,” explained Shields, who managed to successfully rescue the man, in an interview with Breitbart News. “No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off.”

“More chaos started happening, so I went up to the police and tried bringing them back, but they were just like ‘we’re not really going over there. You should just stay away.’” he continued. “I don’t know if they were taking orders from someone or if they were just being lazy.

This gentleman was pepper sprayed, and then kicked on the ground after he collapsed.

This makes my blood boil. At a minimum, take pepper spray to these rallies. Personally, I can't wait for full national CCW reciprocity...

The behavior of these "police" was also beyond contemptible.

Berkley Police are pathetic political tools. The lefty social justice warrior brownshirts need to be stomped like bugs.

OK, your editing of the excerpt makes it seem the MMA fighter part of this story happened yesterday, but is actually is a month old.

Eisenhower sent troops to take children to school, in furtherance of questionable goals, while enumerated rights of speech and assembly are squashed by state and local authorities today.

The Berkeley police and the Berkeley government are full leftist ‘tards. They will happily see Conservatives assaulted and killed. If they could they would give the terrorists the keys to the city.

The elderly and children should not be doing these rallies. It just isn’t safe. These are trained Communist thugs. They are training tens of thousands of them. If we are going to march for Trump, er should all come with bayonets on our rifles.

Berkeley police remind me of that RV commercial where the uniformed guy watches the bank being robbed but does nothing because he is only there to “monitor” the robbery. They are as useless as tits on a boar. What the hell are they being paid for?

In one of the photos taken of this incident, there is a little boy standing hugging a large American flag and looking with concern at the old man on the ground. It may have been his grandfather. That boy will never forget what these Communists did yesterday.

The cops have to do what they’re told to do. Obedience is drummed into their heads, and so they march in lockstep to do the bidding of a corrupt dictatorial administration.

This is the capital of liberalism. Ruled by America-hating marxists.

“No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off.”

What makes my blood boil is that none of the other pro-Trump people jumped in to help the guy. We are going to lose this war if we are unwilling to go toe-to-toe.

“detained” members of hate mob with weapons for violence.

“You are free to go now that the big bad American supporters of Trump have gone”

Seems like it’s just time for some retired Marines and Army folks to show up at events like this, and demonstrate hand-to-hand combat. Once you lay about forty of the punks on the ground with broken bones...maybe they will learn some lesson. Obviously, you don’t need to worry about the cops stopping you.

That is a quote from the first Berkley Riot where there were few non-liberals around. Don't know what it's doing in this story.

What the hell are they being paid for?

To observe and fill out paperwork and collect a pension (with disability).

Why I call them LeftoNazis. We are the Jews to their Nazi. They are just like the Nazis, anyone who does not share their warped view of the world is viciously attacked. "How dare you not support our leftist ideology! You are impure!" Like the Nazis they have an obsession with symbology and and they even have their own versions of Kristallnacht........

.... and they embrace murder.....

The cops will stop conservatives from defending themselves, and the media will dutifully report Trump Supporters Attack minorities and womyn at fascist rally. That said, it’s past time to take a few of them out.

Cops love Trump! They just take orders from their mayor and ignore the oath they took to defend the constitution (1st Amendment) and all other Federal laws pertaining to civil rights, immigration, etc.. Cops have been reduced to thug enablers while pretending not to be.
