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.”

This was a “false flag” operation to make Trump and Trump supporters look bad...

The death of the woman was unintended by the planners, but they think it now is an added benefit...

“Race war? All I see is white people”

Exactly my take as well. If it is a war, it’s between the self loathing white leftists and the conservatives. The race card is used by the leftists as a pretense to capture the moral high ground.

The Leftist dependence upon mob violence goes back at least to the French Revolution. The use of staged events, played key roles, there, as in the later Bolshevik & Nazi revolutions. Just how vicious the later destruction of cultural treasures? Consider the Jacobin burning of some of the great houses, of the demonized scape-goats.

Irreplaceable private libraries, containing hand lettered manuscripts, recalling historic events, were destroyed in the hate driven orgy. It is absolutely sickening to see the same faces of hatred, tearing down the statuary tributes to great Americans, today.

Arthur Wildfire! March :" “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.“

Since when is permissible to order public safety officers to "stand down"
thus encouraging violence by two confrontational groups ?
If it can be shown that the Mayor was in control of his police officers and communicated such an order to them
the elected official should be tried for "criminal facilitation",
and accessory both "before and after the fact" where a criminal offense occurred during a "stand down" order.
It is, at least, a dereliction of duty to protect public safety.
Where a fatality occurred during such a "stand down" order, a charge of "accessory to murder" would seem to be appropriate.
For too long, such "stand down" orders to public safety officers by elected officials has gone unpunished; such an order is an act of commission, rather than omission !

Whenever a "Stand Down" order is given, those elected officials should be held responsible,
regardeless of how high up such an order is given.
It is a responsibility of public officials to 'serve and protect' the all the citizenry, not just a selcted few.

Check out Craig'sList - liberal elite thugs are hiring people around the country to pretend there's a big 'movement'...

Corrupt liberal 'elites' have decided THEY should make the call on who runs the country - and predictably enough they have chosen themselves as the people who must take up the mantle. The 'mobs' are hired to give the optics that the country agrees with them. Hitler used the same tactics in the early years before he took over power.

'Duly elected' doesn't matter to the 'elites' ... Liberal elites and some Conservative elites want to steal the power of the people.

There's no country run by self appointed 'elites' that hasn't devolved into a hellhole. Coups by 'elites' don't work. The justification that they are bravely standing up to about 4,000 people in the country stupid enough to be 'Nazis or KKK' members - when those groups are TOTALLY POWERLESS IN OUR TIME - IS NUTS.

The time when those groups - Nazis and the KKK - were at their most evil was when THEY WERE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR TIME.

If five people walk up to me and tell me they are "Stalinists" - I'm NOT going to freak out thinking they're the same as the group that starved over seven million people to death. WHEN STALINISTS DID THEIR EVIL THEY WERE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR TIME.

Our liberal establishment is using mentally ill losers who self identify in our time as KKK and Nazi as an excuse to do evil to our county. Hitler used Jews to gather the mob to his side... Jim Crow Southerns used Emmitt Til and others like him... and OUR CORRUPT ELITES are using mentally ill idiots self identifying a hate group members from the past.

Corrupt Elites are the people we must fight... the Establishment elites of our time who are working to take away our freedom to choose our own leaders. They're the problem of this time...

"Corrupt Elites' who are using the same tactics of every other thug group in history...

I don't want mobs taking down statues. I don't want the mob to run anything. I don't want people who work to gin up the mob running the country. I don't want 'elites' or members of the press who think it's OK to lie if it's 'for the cause'... Too many red flags on the left...

Charlottesville Police Come Forward: We Were Told to “STAND DOWN” to Ignite Race War (Video)

By Lauren Richardson276210:45 AM August 17, 2017

“We [Charlotesville police] were ordered to bring the rival groups together – and then…”

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.”

At no point is the car that plowed into the crowd of protesters perused by police – there is not a police car in sight leading into the area, or out.

Michael Signer, the mayor of Charlottesville, ordered police to stand down during the most chaotic and destructive period of the protests – despite police protests against the orders.

“We wanted to do our job and keep the peace. But these mother******s in charge really want to destroy America.”

Fox News reporter Doug McKelway was on the scene in Charlottesville and he backs up the police officer’s claims.

“I can say, having been in Emancipation Park from early on that morning, that what I saw with my own two eyes confirms what this law enforcement source told us. At least from all visible appearances. We saw people coming out of that park who had head-wounds, who were bleeding from the head, people walking into that park with bats, with sticks — you saw what they were wearing — helmets, body armor, they had come — and this pertains to both sides — they had come to do damage.. you cannot help but notice from that video that police had been more pro-active, they could have potentially calmed this thing down to some degree.”

Pay close attention to what MCKelway says at 2:41 into the report.

(See video at link).

Michael Signer is a Virginia Democratic activist with close ties to Barack Obama and John Podesta.

Before landing the Charlottesville mayor job he previously worked closely with Podesta at the Center of American Progress and worked with him again on Barack Obama’s State Department Transition Team.

George Soros, Obama, Podesta, Hillary Clinton and company, are pulling out all the stops to create division through chaos and destruction for one purpose – to destroy President Donald Trump.

Crowds of paid protesters and useful psychopaths are being sent into pitched battle against one another to sour the mood of the nation and further divide us all.

Fox News reports, that since the election, scores of activists have taken to the streets, town halls and rallies to blast President Trump. That’s all with the blessing of their boss thanks to social justice benefits and paid time off work policies that are growing in popularity.

At San Francisco marketing firm Traction, social justice benefits take the form of two so-called “Days of Action” a year.

“If someone wanted to participate in a pro-life rally,” says Kleinberg, “they are absolutely welcome to do that. This is not about the partners at Traction promoting our agenda, it’s about having a broader view of democracy, and encouraging people to be engaged.”

But in the famously left-leaning Bay Area, conservative activists don’t buy it.

“They can take part in a protest, they can volunteer for a cause that is meaningful to them,” says CEO Adam Kleinberg. “Civic engagement is a foundation of our democracy, and companies should encourage it.”

“They want, basically, a harder left turn than we’re seeing now,” says Howard Epstein, vice chair of communications for the San Francisco Republican Party. “And if you’re going political, you’re going to discourage some people from going to your place of business.

It is a risk: Consumers opposed to an official endorsement of protest culture might spend their money elsewhere. When news of Traction’s “Day of Action” benefit spread, Kleinberg was the target of a backlash and calls for a boycott.

“Traction has been called everything from fascists, to socialists, to communists, to libtards, candya—s. I’m not quite sure what being a candya– is, but if being candya—s is what it takes for Traction to inspire change, we’re willing to own that.”

In a statement to Fox News, outdoor apparel maker Patagonia had a similar stance.

“We hire activists… who are incredibly passionate about the environment. And, at times, protesting is part of that passion,” said Dean Carter, vice president of human resources. “It all fits in with the company’s greater mission to make the best product, cause no unnecessary harm and use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.”

Several big corporations are also responding to their worker’s desire to advocate.

Facebook told its employees they could take paid time off to May Day rallies which, in many cases, were largely about defending immigrant rights. Earlier this year, Comcast gave its workers paid time off to protest Trump’s travel ban.

Most companies give their workers time off to vote, but “this is different – this is going to a new level,” said Scott Dobroski, community expert with employment firm Glassdoor.

A recent Glassdoor survey found more than half of employees believe they should have time off to advocate for social change, regardless of their politics.

Just like President Trump said, ‘bad people from both sides showed up with sticks and clubs prepared to do battle’ and in none of the pictures, is there police there is control the growing rage that they perpetuated by bringing all the protesters together.

The riot police did not show up until AFTER the car plowed into the crowed killing Heather Heyer and wounding many others.

Thank you.

This is has Obama written all over it. And they don’t want to take down Trump. They want to take down Conservatism and it doesn’t matter which Republican is President. If Pence becomes President, they will also do this to him.

Second video destroys any credibility FOX Fake News has retained since the election.

“Professional journalistic editorial desicions” is half of what has put the country where it is.

All of a sudden FOX Fake News is the arbiter of what is “hatred spewing from their mouths”?

It doesnt matter who is speaking. It doesnt matter their agenda. First amendment freedom is just that. Its not the “news” job to determine what I need to be upset about. I want to hear what these people have to say. If it is full of anti-American Hate, I will decide it for myself. I dont need the media telling me how to feel.
