Charlottesville Police Come Forward: We Were Told to “STAND DOWN” to Ignite Race War (Video)
Truth Uncensored ^ | August 16, 2017 | Lauren Richardson

Posted on 08/18/2017 7:15:04 AM PDT by WashingtonSource

A Charlottesville police officer has come forward to express his outrage at being told to “stand down” by the city mayor during violent clashes between protesters.

The officer also claims the protests, which pitched “white supremacists” against members of Antifa, were “set up” to allow for the groups to ignite into exactly what happened.

“We [Charlotesville police] were ordered to bring the rival groups together. As soon as they were in contact with each other, we were told to stand down. It was outrageous. We weren’t allowed to arrest anyone without asking the mayor first. We weren’t even allowed to stop the driver as he sped away.“

“The event was being set up as far back as at least May and it went like clockwork.”

"We have to be consistent about fake news across the board."

Yes, this story has my BS light flashing. It appears there was a stand-down order, but to attribute a specific motive to it requires more evidence than an alleged quote from an anonymous cop. Hopefully the Sessions investigation will look into all aspects of this incident, and not just at the motives of the man driving the car.

Signer is supposedly changing his tune about the Robert E. Lee Statue - wants it removed. Sounds like instigating another riot.

You really have to seriously consider sending your child to a school in a city where the mayor actively promotes a race war.

Professionals would have scheduled the protests on different days. For example, the "pink pussy hat" demonstration and speechifying was scheduled for the day after President Trump's inauguration.

In Charlottesville, these groups could have had been issued permits for alternate days … Oh my gosh, now I remember, Antifa didn't have a permit … never mind …

Hopefully Trump’s DOJ will look into this.

And a note to LE: The Nuremberg defense won’t wash.

The whole point of Antifa is to prevent any one else from taking to the streets. When they say these are our streets they ain’t joking. We’re Trump supporters as vigorous in their defense of the streets the GOP in cCongress might find their spine and the Rats will never let that happen.

I’m sure Sessions is on this like a dog on a bone and we’ll soon have all the facts.

AG Sessions! Wake Up!

You should already be instructing DOJ and FBI in a full investigation of these allegations.

Well thats a T.V. reporter in the video speaking about the lack of police response. He was there and should be considered a credible witness.
