San Jose police chief defends officers accused of failing to protect Trump supporters from violence

The mayor and police chief both deserved to get canned. The article clams Trump supporters taunting protesters, ripping their Dump Trump signs and throwing the first punches, but I watch hours of footage and don't recall seeing anything like that.

San Jose police chief defends officers accused of failing to protect Trump supporters from violence

SAN JOSE -- A day after a melee erupted outside a Donald Trump rally, the San Jose police chief and mayor on Friday defended themselves from a national backlash over their handling of the dramatic and at times violent protest.

On radio talk shows and across social media, some called for Mayor Sam Liccardo's resignation because of his comments suggesting that Trump was to blame for igniting violence, while police were criticized for failing to protect Trump supporters from angry protesters throwing punches, water bottles and traffic cones. Some videos showed those attacks and suggested they were unprovoked, but others showed Trump supporters taunting protesters, ripping their Dump Trump signs and throwing the first punches.​

So, essentially "speak out at your own risk."

Keep 'em bripat9643
Use these examples as arguments why citizens need to remain armed, and not depend on police!
(along with the LA riots where police deliberately refused to answer calls but waited for the riots to die down on their own.
New Orleans also with Katrina that overwhelmed police who abandoned duty to save their own families.)

Obama's going to send the DOJ to San Jose any minute now!

It's Trump's fault that the freeloaders and illegals hate him so he should be responsible for the violence being committed by them. Makes total sense to me.

Trumpies went looking for trouble and found it.

Fuck 'em.

Now they know where they stand in America.

Now they know how America sees them.

As a bunch of punks and pricks who will get what they deserve as long as they support a race-baiting xenophobic demagogue.
