Violence didn't "erupt". That's a damnable lie.

The permitted, court-ordered protesters were attacked by BLM and Antifa. And that was OK with the cops until one of the protesters had enough and flipped out.

The USDOJ needs to interview every cop in that dept and every state cop that was assigned there. They most certainly were ordered to be hands-off, IN SPITE of a Federal Judge's order.

"KKK," yeah right.

Meanwhile, the media won't even name Antifa, and just keeps calling them "counterprotesters."

when dozens of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members clashed with counterprotesters.
...
So the paid antifa soldiers and just counterprotesters...

Track their faces, identify them, ...

I saw a live leaks video today where the woman recording said that the cops left once Antifa started marching (shortly before the car incident). She continued recording till the cops came. It must have been 15 minutes. Unacceptable.

the whole thing was a setup,
Millie Weaver from Info wars did a ten minute video telling what happened. The police were ordered to stand down after appearing en masse in “riot gear” duhhhh... they knew what was about to happen they made it happen.!!
The cops refused to let the white nationalists take a safe route away from the park and made them go right through antifa/BLM goons with balloons full of feces,urine,chemicals paint and they had lots of pepper spray as well.
The cops knew exactly what they were doing and told Millie when she asked ‘why they didn't let them take the safe way out’?
“they can leave the way they came in”!!
In other words we didn't come dressed in riot gear for no reason let the games begin.
It was a setup.

The same city had an identical protest over the Lee Park the month before but there was a huge police presence there.

Some one purposely set this one up to explode this time like McAwful .

McAwful did this because of the upcoming VA Gov race .

Boy, they really had to phrase that carefully to avoid incriminating their preferred thugs, didn't they??

I am glad you posted this. I saw this earlier in the news.

This article interviews the former Cville Police Chief about how the police handled the protests on Saturday.

Joe Longo was highly respected here, and retired a year or so ago.

It is almost incomprehensible that all of the foot traffic from the counter protesters was allowed in the location where the homicide occurred.

This was really obvious to almost everyone...

For the most part, the cops just stood there off on the sidelines, looking professional.

Looked just like Berkeley, CA. where the cops did nothing.

Experts: Police response inadequate at Charlottesville rally

I would say culpable.

Charlottesville wanted further justification to remove Confederate Monuments. What better way to produce that than a full blown racial riot? Let two Socialist Hate factions into the same space and watch the fireworks!

This was a planned set up by the politicians.

Permitting the two opposing groups on the streets ate the same time?

What could possibly go wrong?

And we watched the police standing idly by in the midst of the violence.

Another political order to Stand Down?

Need to investigate the politicians and the orders that came down to the P.D.

I thought this was a rally to protest the removal of some statues?

And then they didn’t have the rally?

And so people started throwing bags of pee at them?

And that’s OK?

Gosh, it seems like you could just attack anyone because they might say something you don’t like.

INTENTIONALLY INADEQUATE

The Deep State is alive and well, and Soros is a major player. Gov. Terry McAuliffe is on the team, too.

Anybody who was injured in Charlottesville on Saturday should be looking for a lawyer to sue the city.

“”We were hoping for a peaceful demonstration,” Chief Al Thomas said at a news conference.”

Hey Chief, hold out both of your hands. You hope in one and I’ll **** in the other. You tell me which hand fills up first.

Okay?

Police chiefs should be elected not appointed by a mayor. Baltimore, Charlottesville show everyone why this should be so.

> Chief Al Thomas said his officers were spread thin and had to make quick adjustments to their strategies when white nationalists began swarming the park and violence erupted.

Why were they “spread thin” when the park was “swarmed”? The park was the permitted location.

//

Aug 7, 2017 - Citing concerns for security and safety, Charlottesville officials on Monday said they will approve a demonstration permit for Saturday’s Unite the Right rally organized by pro-white activists if the rally is moved to McIntire Park.

But Jason Kessler, who is organizing the rally, says he won’t accept the condition because McIntire Park lacks the symbolism provided by the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that has stood in Emancipation Park, recently renamed from Lee Park, since the 1920s.

“The whole thing is in support of the Lee monument,” Kessler said after the city’s news conference announcing the decision to change the location.

http://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/charlottesville-says-permit-for-unite-the-right-will-be-approved/article_475201b0-c6d5-588f-9641-d7821bfcff56.html

//

Aug 11, 2017 - A judge heard arguments Friday from attorneys requesting an emergency injunction stemming from a case against the city of Charlottesville and its decision to move the rally to McIntire Park, rather than at the planned Emancipation Park location.

Statement from Mayor Mike Signer:

City Statement on 8/12 Court Ruling

“While the City is disappointed by tonight’s ruling we will abide by the judge’s decision. The goal in moving the Unite the Right Rally from Emancipation Park to a larger, more accommodating space like McIntire Park had nothing to do with the content of the demonstrators’ speech. The decision was made based on the projected number of demonstrators expected in our one acre park in downtown and the public safety needs of our community.

Chief Thomas, his team and the hundreds of law enforcement officials in our City will now turn their full attention to protecting the Downtown area during tomorrow’s events.”
