AP: Do-Nothing San Jose Police Hammered for Allowing Thug Riot

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — This Silicon Valley city and its police department are facing mounting complaints of a tepid and tardy law enforcement response to attacks of Donald Trump supporters after a political rally.

Videos circulating online show physical clashes occurring in front of San Jose police officers dressed in riot gear and standing stoically in a line outside the convention center where Trump spoke. Critics also complained that assaults occurred on side streets near the venue that lacked police presence.

“Potentially more could have been done,” said San Jose Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio, chairman of the council’s public safety committee.

The questions about the San Jose police response came while Trump launched a rally Friday afternoon in Redding, California, a politically conservative city 350 miles north of San Jose. Trump called those who attacked his supporters Thursday night a “bunch of thugs.”

San Jose police chief Eddie Garcia commended his officers’ response to the violence after the Thursday night rally, saying the 250 officers on hand showed “discipline and restraint.”

This should be more widely known. But I don’t know what to do about it.

San Jose doesn't like Conservatives, and as mayor, I MAKE SURE we don't protect them here.

I guess doing nothing is called showing restraint.

What would you expect from a Mexican police chief?

I was there, left before the real craziness started. There were cops everywhere, just standing around. They get paid well for standing around.

Useless clock-watching doughnut eaters.

Maybe the next time one gets popped, I'll make a donation to the perps legal defense.

He's Puerto Rican. We should grant Puerto Rico independence, that way he could be deported as an undesirable alien.

OK, I didn’t know that.

The more light shining upon the event, the worse it will get (for the two-bit tyrannical mayor and its police chief).

Not quite the level of Kristallnacht (yet). But soon!

It will spiral downward. The other side is practically begging for it.

The police chief is Eddie Garcia from Puerto Rico named as chief in March by the mayor.

Remember the name Maile Hampton. If there’s a riot, she’s there.

I suspect the Chief will be on the other end of a Federal investigation in the near future.

Time to take back the cops’ hazard pay. ‘Cause the hazard is to citizens getting beat up in front of them while the cops play chicken. Why do they get paid so much? If they’re not willing to take the heat, then reduce their benefits and pay.

I agree. The SJ Police Chief is a dumb leader and clueless about strategy and de-escalation tactics. Clueless. Dumb, as in never read a book about police work. One professor at Berkeley regularly complained about the lame policies in Sacramento and always called it “the revenge of the D students from high school.”
