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.

I have never seen so few police at an event like this.”

One observer claimed police “ran away,” despite several Trump rally attendees being attacked.

It took ten replies before the obvious was stated.

How shameful.

Time for the National Guard.

I seen it. But i believe since their protegees came out second best in the melee, that the next time, they will be out of their cars. Busting Trump supporters’ heads. I imagine they got a good ass chewing when they got back to the station for letting their protegees getting chased down the street by the Trump supporters.

We on the right should form “The Sons of Liberty” brave, strong Patriots who will FIGHT for Free Speech! That or a new sort of Minute Men. Organized people who will keep their cool but Hit back 10 to one. Maybe we should picket the police stations or the Mayors house. We must bring down the corrupt system before it can be rebuilt. Maybe build a statue like the students did in Peking—or Lady Liberty—with a torch—or better yet a statue of Trump—that would tick off the leftists in Liberalville.

They need to change the slogan on their cars from “To Protect and Serve” to “To Sit and Watch”.

The job of the police is to not see anyone get beat up, and when informed of this situation, say “ok, and”.

Y'know, I think everyone is missing a very important picture here ...

How about this;

The cops know Trump has their backs and the cops know the Trump supporters are more badass former marine types than the pussy hatters and the cops have given US an opportunity to kick some ass for a change.

I'm not so sure they were "told to stand down" rather, sit back and see if they (we) can handle things ourselves.

If it goes bad, THEN jump in, but give THE PEOPLE a shot at shining.

THAT'S what I think and I hope I'll be proven correct in time to come.

I believe the local cops handed the militia the key to the city.

Trump supporters are more badass former military types than the pussy hatters.

Cops are pretty badass in their own right.

Forces just identified themselves for future coalition.

They should just send in National Guard to Berkeley. That’s what they did when Wallace wouldn’t desegregate Alabama schools.

[virgil]

Yep. Let the National Guard take over.
