The American Mirror "There were numerous reports from those on the scene that Berkeley police largely stayed back as Antifa agitators took pot shots at Donald Trump supporters on Saturday.
“ 'As the violence escalated police in Berkeley stood down and retreated from the crowds,” reporter Tim Pool tweeted.
“ 'I have never seen so few police at an event like this.”
"One observer claimed police “ran away,” despite several Trump rally attendees being attacked."
"Mother Jones reporter Shane Bauer saw two officers at a patrol car, not engaged in protecting citizens from violence."
“Hey, how come you guys are hanging back?” he asked an officer standing in an open door of the car and another sat in the back seat.
“That would be a question for the chief of police,” an officer sitting in the driver’s seat responded.
“You want a public statement, right?” the standing officer asked the reporter.
“I would refer you to our public information officer.”
“Do they told you to hang back?” Bauer said.
“As I said, I refer you to our public information officer,” the cop responded.
“I’ve been watching all day people get beat up pretty bad and I haven’t seen you guys around much,” Bauer said.
“Okay, and?” the officer responded.
"Numerous videos show Trump supporters being beaten in the streets as police failed to keep the two sides apart."
