An order to stand down enabled AntiFa to assault peaceful protestors. The police did nothing until the violence and then concentrated on arresting anyone but AntiFa.

"The “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville became a flashpoint in American political history, but according to this Supreme Court filing, the event was doomed from the start—not by the protestors, but by the city’s leadership. The lawsuit argues that Charlottesville police officers were ordered to “stand down” while violent far-left Antifa counter-protesters clashed with demonstrators, ensuring the event spiraled into disorder."

“They drove us into Market Street, they drove us into Antifa. I got attacked twice that day. The first time was in Lee Park when I got sprayed in the face with riot-grade pepper spray as the police pushed us out of the park, where we had a permit. Then when I was half-blinded by police, I got clubbed from behind by a masked member of Antifa. We were pushed out into the street to get us to fight with Antifa.”



 
LEGAL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE COURT


The Supreme Court petition asks the justices to weigh in on several major constitutional issues:


  1. Does the First Amendment protect speech even when local governments deliberately allow violence to erupt as a justification for suppression?
  2. Can police officers who intentionally refuse to maintain order—while knowing their inaction will lead to violence—hide behind qualified immunity, a legal theory that makes them immune from lawsuits?
  3. Should municipalities be held accountable under Supreme Court precedent (Monell v. Department of Social Services) when their top officials orchestrate conditions that violate constitutional rights?

The case hinges on whether government officials can manipulate violent conditions to crack down on speech they oppose, a dangerous precedent if left unchecked according to Balogh.

Same link as OP.
 
The police were marching under dem orders to stand down that came all the way from Northam's office.

The VSP were pissed that they lost a chopper and two troopers for nothing.....The whole thing could have been broken-up early in the morning once the leftists started defacing/destroying property.
