According to Wiki, Charlottesville has a population of 48,000.
This means it likely has about 50-75 cops (errrr....bodies with a badge and gun).
In a college town, it’s guaranteed that a large percentage on those cops are women, gays, trannies, overweight folks, 95lb women, whatever.....affirmative action at it’s peak!
It’s also guaranteed that their (the cops) boss is some wet pants liberal and his boss, McAuliffe, is, like his best friend Obama, a communist.
So, maybe the cops had half their troops that would/could FIGHT because make no mistake that is what this was...........one big FIGHT.
McAuliffe, the Mayor, the Police Chief and their Union master, ALL DEMS, just were not going to play Alamo that day!
So, PC killed that young girl just as sure as the sun will set tonight.
Now, “The Left”, taking their cue from the Democrats “the Russian’s did it” cover up are screaming that “it’s the white guys fault” when all the facts seem to be pointing the opposite way and in particular to a cowardly police force.
When that cop told the reporter “we are outta here because it’s too dangerous”................no shit! 1,000 people fighting with all kinds of weapons including cars IS DANGEROUS! When a town allows it’s police force to deteriorate to whimp status.................Hiding and running is what happens. It’s nothing NEW.
I think you have the Cville PD wrong.
The University has a separate force.
None of the Cville PD cops I have encountered look like what you have described. This is Central Virginia after all.
My guess is that a lot of the police officers don’t even live in the city.
Charlottesville is deeply blue. It is surrounded by Albemarle County, which is blue—but only recently.
The rest of Central Virginia is deep red.
Just another in the long line of the results of LBJs ‘Great Society’, mostly the cornerstone for ALL our ills.
Even when Truman integrated the Military, the STANDARDS didn’t change to accommodate the ‘newbies’.
Things started going to pot when it was DEMANDED that x # of people were SUPPOSED to fill certain positions.
About the only faction of society that works on ‘true merit’ is SPORTS.
If you can’t hit or catch a baseball that doesn’t mean ‘you’ can make the team because the ‘law’ says a Homo Mongolian has to be in the league. (AT LEAST NOT YET).
This will get interesting allowing the ‘boys’ to play girls sports (Haven’t we been crying about the Russian & Chinese & Eastern Bloc ‘female’ athletes being to uh ‘masculine’).
I realize every generation has been saying it since the ‘Garden of Eden’, this surely is the end of the world as we now know it, but I think it is actually happening now.<: <: <:.
