The predictable violence that erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia, when police channeled opposing groups into the same confined space and then failed to intervene, requires explanation. Given the alacrity with which Democrat office holders and MSM exploited the violence for political gain, reasonable suspicions arise over whether or not this was intentionally set up as political theatre.
It already looks as though the official local investigation is shaping up as a whitewash. The man chosen as the independent investigator is a Democrat who reportedly donated to the Charlottesville mayors election.
That is why a civil suit may be necessary to get to the bottom of matters. Believe it or not, civil litigators have certain advantages over prosecutors or government investigations, in that constitutional protections against government abuses less directly apply in litigation. In depositions, for instance, testimony can be compelled, and its relevance later determined prior to be shown to a jury. Thats why this report from the Richmond Times-Dispatch is a reason for hope:

Right. If they see an assault going on in front of them and are not obligated to intervene, what is the whole point of law enforcement???
Sigh. Don’t answer that.
The civil suits will probably go nowhere. I’ve been studying numerous pictures from Charlottesville and Berkley. There was a very strong federal presence at both locations. The people that were arrested have been purposely singled out. There were agents dressed as protesters.
I believe the DOJ is building a case for civil rights violation. There is very strong evidence that local and possibly state governments have coordinated with leftist gangs to deprive citizens thier guaranteed constitutional rights.
but is there case law that protects cops from INSTIGATING and ENCOURAGING violence?
The SC has ruled time and again the police have no obligation to protect you. This is going no where.
