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.
Yep - something that many are tripping all over themselves to ignore. The cops actually pushed the legal group into the clutches of the folks who came to do violence...then try to say that not doing their jobs by protecting the legal ones and not bashing the skulls of the violent ones means that "the cops didn't hurt nobody"....
Note to Charlottesville: I loved visting, but after this, I won’t be back.
