Trump supporters and ANTIFA mobs clashed once again over the weekend in Berkeley, CA. Several pro-Trump individuals were beaten and assaulted with pepper spray. At one point, several black-clad agitators isolated a lone Trump supporter and pummeled him with fists and feet. And according to witnesses, law enforcement watched it all unfold from the comfort of their patrol cars.
Shane Bauer, from the very left leaning Mother Jones, was there and even he was completely shocked at the lack of police response to the violence. The American Mirror documented Bauer’s exchange with an officer at the chaotic scene:
“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.
“So 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.
Unfortunately, it appears as though officers preferred to provide security only for…

Few, if any, MSM media outlets mentioned the oblivious attitudes of law enforcement. Witnesses to the violence referred to the scene as a “war zone” complete with knives and a plethora of makeshift weapons. One of the homemade weapons confiscated was a Pepsi can filled with concrete.
This is third time police personnel failed to stop violence from happening. Back in February, riots broke out on campus at a speaking engagement with former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos. In March, approximately 500 pro and anti-Trump demonstrators punched, clubbed, and pepper sprayed one another.
In total, seven people were sent to the hospital and several were arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Reports indicated that police had allegedly banned anything that could be used as a weapon at the event. However, it appears from photos and videos of battered Trump supporters, they were unsuccessful in their so-called efforts.
