There were numerous reports from those on the scene that Berkeley police largely stayed back as Antifa agitators took pot shots at Donald Trump supporters on Saturday.
As the violence escalated police in Berkeley stood down and retreated from the crowds, reporter Tim Pool tweeted.

At one point, several black-clad agitators isolated a lone Trump supporter and pummeled him with fists and feet.
Someone jumped in and clubbed him with a skateboard. Heres an aerial angle: (video at the link).

My eyes crossed when I saw the cute little yellow hairnet dividers!
Knew instantly how much protection Trump supporters were afforded.
The masked were traveling hired guns. They don’t want their identity matched with their string of arrests.
Soros bandidos.
I wonder what the Pro-Trump to AntiFa arrest breakdown was.
Very good post. Well said.
Good question. Early on it seemed like our side was mostly bloggers, “journalists” and camera men, before both sides of the hairnet begin to grow.
Isn’t that exactly what happened? 21 arrested I’m guessing large amount of those are actually Trump supporters
“They also said ‘we love trees.’.....”
Ask them if they use toilet paper. It’s made from wood pulp, aka trees.
You too.
Did they give out the real dad’s name?
It’s a wedding shower. The kids are liberal but the Italian parents would shoot my friend’s kid if he got her pregnant before marriage.
He was fine until he got back from college.
4 years.
I saw one cop reply, “That’s a question you’d have to ask the Chief of Police”. To me, that is a clear enough message between-the-lines. He can’t come right out and say that he’s “following orders”, can he? But he said it clearly enough for anyone who can understand.
I see a number of cops with a single stripe. Are they giving out rank for participation these days?
We were under orders.......
Why can’t the National Guard or highway patrol be called in if it’s very likely to get out of hand? Is it because the gov would have to do it? In that case I guess it’s hopeless.
Interesting comments at the site from those in the heart of the Beast - running roughly 10 to 1 AGAINST the CommieCrap Punks.
