So, Did Police Just Stand Around As Charlottesville Descended Into Chaos?
I know personally that in the 1970s after the 1968 riots, police were trained in what was called “RIOT CONTROL”.
In the 1980s and 1990s that training was re-classified to
“CROWD CONTROL” in order to give a more softer name to what was basically the same riot control police training.
In the 21st Century that training was modified to be gentler and kinder with that training now called:
“CROWD MANAGEMENT”
However, recently after ‘Ferguson’ and Michael Brown, police are receiving training in:
‘Standing around’, ‘watching’, (The three monkeys method of police operation today - ‘Hear no evil, See no evil, say no evil’ - with ‘Run and hide’ as the official ‘Retreat’ method ordered by directive per orders to their police chiefs from Democrat run city political leaders.
We did see the National Guard trucks rolling down Univerisity Ave. We headed for home once the tear gas came out,
Anyways, years later, as a teen, we knew not to play around in Berkeley, as the cops would kick your ass first and ask questions later.
Fast forward to the BPD that will sit around and let Commies riot.
