So it seems that the Chief of Police in Charlottesville is going to resign.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Alfred Thomas, the police chief in Charlottesville, Virginia, has announced his retirement on Monday after 27 years of law enforcement service. The decision comes just weeks after the release of a critical review of his department's reaction to a violent white nationalist rally over the summer.
[...] Earlier this month, former U.S. Attorney Tim Heaphy released findings from a monthslong investigation into law enforcement's response to the violent rally in August. The report criticized Thomas' "slow-footed response" and found that police failed on multiple fronts, leading to "deep distrust of government" in the local community. It also found a lack of preparation and coordination between state and city police and a passive response by officers to the chaos.
State police and Charlottesville police were unable to communicate by radio the day of the rally because they were on different channels, the report said, and commanders "instructed their officers not to intervene in all but the most serious physical confrontations."
All I can say, is that it was a good thing the antifa were there to do the job of the police, defending people from violent attack.

Know what? You're a lot like Stalin. You justify the means because the ends.
When was the last time you had to moderate a disagreement between kids? And, when was the last time that one of the kids was TOTALLY blameless, while the other was entirely at fault? It just doesn't happen very often. Usually, you have avarice and greed as a motivating factor on both sides.
And, that is something many people just fail to understand. They don't WANT to understand. The mideast? Both sides are at fault. China and the China Sea? Several sides to that issue, and they are all at fault. Ukraine? Again, both sides are at fault.
Your fucking lefties came to this confrontation armed, just as the righties came armed. I have given you the pages of those Redneck Revolutionaries. They came for the purpose of provoking a confrontation. They state clearly that the end justifies the means, and that they'll use any means at their disposal. The media manipulates the news for gullible chumps like yourself. You WANT TO BELIEVE in something - you've decided that your Antifa is worth believing in, and your mind is closed.
One more time. The Nazis suck - but Antifa sucks just as hard.
And, you are dismissed. Come back if you ever find any clues in life. I don't have the time to argue with the willfully ignorant.
