Can you give a brief summary of what he said ?
Here’s the video.
He (the police chief) basically said the police and the right wing protesters had an agreed upon a protest plan which failed immediately, allowing both the right wing & left wing nutcases to get at each other without a buffer zone between them....the severe violence broke out quickly. The Police were not in their riot gear, just regular uniforms. They withdrew to suit up into riot gear. They were then refused by the Governor and two mayors to use tear gas which only allowed for the riot to get worse. McAuliffe and the Mayors both knew that a small town like Charlottesville was ill equipped to handle this violent outburst. IMHO, McAullife felt he could hang the whole albatross around Trumps neck, blaming only the right wing extremist nutcases....but the left wing Democrat nutcase had other plans and goals...and we were off to the races of hate both groups. Results...innocents murdered and injured.
