The police should NEVER come out with orders to "stand down" if there is violence. Were such orders given? There must be an investigation.
If police are free to not intervene, they should not be on the street. It gives people a false sense of security. And, why are they there?
I watched most of it on youtube.The people with the permit were told to leave which they were trying to do.As they got to their cars they were being harassed by BLM.Same group running around,easy to spot because of the clothes and the one girls hair.The streets should have been closed down.Large groups of people were trying to exit and they have cars driving through this crowd.What a joke.All they needed where barricades and police.This did not need to happen.
