Charlottesville Mayor Claims Police Chief Told Him ‘Stay Out of My Way’
Breitbart ^ | 08/24/2017 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 08/25/2017 11:45:25 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

Charlottesville’s Mayor claimed Thursday that he and other members of the city council “were not given the security plan for August 12,” which was developed and closely held by the City Manager, the Police Chief, and the Fire Chief.

Mayor Mike Signer’s Facebook statement about city preparations in Charlottesville prior to the brawls between self-described white supremacists, white nationalists, and progressive street groups said:

"I asked the Police Chief what I could do to be helpful during that day as Mayor, he answered, ‘Stay out of my way.’ Despite repeated requests, I was not allowed into the City’s Command Center (run by City staff) and was instead asked to be in the Emergency Operations Center (where fire, rescue, and other stakeholders were monitoring the situation)."

Signer revealed the political motivations behind the City of Charlottesville’s actions leading up to the August 12 “Unite the Right” rally in Emancipation Park:

Breitbart is calling the leftist Trotskyites “progressives”? They are about as progressive as a stick of dynamite and just as destructive.

...the City Manager, the Police Chief, and the Fire Chief.

That's the way it works in a city-manager type city. The Manager works for the City Council and the Manager has the power to fire the Police Chief and/or Fire Chief.

Yeah, I noticed that too

Why not more accurate descriptions such as “paid for” “anarchists” “Far left” “Communists” “Marxists” “Deniers of free speech” “hate group” “hired meth addicts”

Feel free to add more . . .

CNN OOPS



maybe, maybe not...

The claim is that the Jason Kesslers are different.

The Jason Kessler that is the leftist troublemaker, is not the same as Jason Kessler that worked for CNN.

But we shall see...

Could be the same guy...

But then, maybe not...

Not sure how the City Manager/Council form of government works but as a former City Manager here in the State of Washington the Mayor is a ceremonial figure head. Their only real authority is making formal declarations and authorizations during states of emergency. He is assigned to the emergency command center, where if needed he can contact the State powers for assistance.

I don’t know if Kessler worked for CNN but those tweets are from the same Jason Kessler who organized the Unite the Right rally.

So they have a weak mayor - strong city manager form of government? That is quite common, and this is not that hard.

The mayor and council need to fire the city manager. They then need to get a new city manager who has some sense. Make it clear the mayor and council expect the new city manager to fire the police chief, and to hire a new one with some sense.

The Police chief answers to the city manager. I found that out a long time ago when my vehicle was wrongly towed. I told the chief that they should pay the tow company, not me and he said no. I talked to the City manager who agreed that the police/city was on the hook. The same day, the chief called me and said I could go pick up my vehicle from the impound lot and that the city was taking care of the bill.

Next question is; Was the city manager honoring the Governor’s request? McCauliffe?

David Horowitz maybe in “Radical Son” The Progressive Party was what the communist party has been calling themselves since the 30’s or 40’S.

I agree there is nothing progressive about progressive but it just a way to wrap their warped and destructive ideology in a pretty bow.
