New York Post: "Cops must never stand down against ‘antifa’ thugs"

[DigitalDrifter]

Of course the left members of the board, don't have the balls to respond to this, but this is more evidence that Antifa is being called out for who they are.

Many on the left are starting to see the goons of Antifa as the menace they are. Too bad the Berkeley, Calif., Police Department remains clueless.

The college town saw a large Rally Against Hate on Sunday, initially planned as a response to a right-wing demonstration that wound up canceled over security concerns.

A few pro-Trumpers and other miscellaneous rightists still turned out to show their flags — and so did the ninja-wannabes.

Yet when hundreds of masked, armored thugs arrived in quasi-military formation, carrying shields banned under police rules, the cops were ordered to retreat.

Some 400 officers from the Berkeley, Oakland, UC Berkeley and Alameda County forces had been keeping control, confiscating anything that could be used as a weapon.

But when the goons broke through police barricades and checkpoints and started beating and pepper-spraying others, “We made a strategic decision to move our officers,” said Berkeley police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats.

As the police left, San Francisco Chronicle reporter Lizzie Johnson tweeted: “A sea of black masks as far as I can see. This is what WAS NOT supposed to happen.”
