San Jose (CA) Police Chief Eddie Garcia held a press conference to explain his department’s action following a Donald Trump Rally earlier in the week. The media had widely reported that the department had a “stand down” order and permitted Trump supporters to be assaulted. Chief Garcia addressed this in the above video.
“Our officers should be commended. The violence that occurred last night will not go unchecked. San Jose officers did the job of making the arrests, clearing the streets, and protecting the safety of the public.”
