Charlottesville Police Chief Ordered Stand Down and Wanted Protesters to Fight
A new report on the Unite the Right event in Charlottesville reveals that police chief Al Thomas ordered police to stand down, and reportedly said, "Let them fight. It will make it easier to declare an unlawful assembly." The infamous Charlottesville parking garage fight was started by a 'counter-protester'. He was arrested and immediately released on an unsecured bond. In spite of the fact that videos shown on the Internet prove he actually instigated the violence, he received $166,000 from crowd-sourced funding.
