Charlotte, Britain’s first black queen is illogical. She had 15 children and none, “0”, nada were black or mulatto in their features.

Did the authorities of the city of Charlottesville have a duty to protect Unite the Right rally attendees?

I like you Mr Williams, but you of all people know damn well that the Courts have already ruled on this and it is SET IN STONE that :

” NO Police Officer in the United States hyas a legal duty to protect the citizenry, and that the only legal duty they have is to the political entity that employs them.””

Though I understand and agree with your sentiments on this issue, it is nothing more than an intellectual exercise in futility.

Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was German, as was her husband King George III. Both of her parents were German.

I think they meant that failing to protect a group was the same as refusing the right to assemble.

Charlotte was the German wife of King George III, and was NOT black.

That begs the question, then why even be there, in force, in gear?

It's one thing to say that the police have no obligation to respond to a call for help, but what is the obligation when they are already there in force, with armor, and lined up at the ready?

Haven't they already crossed the committal line by then?

There is only one correct solution to this dilemma, ARREST and CHARGE all the Police and Politicians involved under the Felony Murder Rule for Conspiracy to Commit Murder. Thier willingness to turn a blind eye as Multiple Felonies are committed and innocent people died or were injured is a COMPLICIT ACT!

There is a saying “ A picture speaks a thousand words”, so then what do the videos of the event say ? Surely there are videos of the car incident and other things going on. There has been not shortage of videos from other events. Just take a look at Youtube. Suddenly no one had their phones with them and recording the protest ???

Haven’t they already crossed the committal line by then?

YES, and thier decision at that point in time was to Engage in a Conspiracy to Commit Murder under the Felony Murder Rule, their Silence was a Complicit Act in this deadly violence.

They all belong in Prison, and sorry mr police officer, but “just following orders” doesn’t cut it when innocent people die as a result of your personal decisions to aid and abet murderous thugs.

Charlottesville, Virginia, a city named after Britain's first black queen, was the scene of a bloody riot Saturday...

 

Bloody riot? Where? There was an accident, but no riot. Those idiot Antifa thugs need to take notes from BLM thugs.

See Ferguson or Baltimore for what a real riot looks like.

Even if true, one possible ancestor fifteen generations back doesn’t make her “black” unless you take the racist one drop rule to the furthest extreme I’ve ever seen.

I suspect Williams is just playing with us. He knows Charlotte was not Black.

“NO Police Officer in the United States has a legal duty to protect the citizenry”

I didn’t know that. Show us a statute.

I fear the only penalty would be administrative and/or political.

This is the nub of what happened:

Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer chose to demagogue the situation by blaming the rise of white nationalists on President Donald Trump.

So, of course he needs to be impeached, right?

“innocent people”?

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

(whew)

If you think they cops had a duty to defy lawful orders and involve themselves in a staged riot to protect the Nazis from the Communists, then you are mistaken.

You are also mistaken about murder. There was no murder at C-ville that day. Nor was there any conspiracy to commit murder.

Looks like your BLM attitudes towards the police are shining through.
