The violence that occurred in San Jose, California this past week was outrageous and media outlets are reporting that San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo told the police to “stand down” after the Trump rally.
Several sources have indicated there were fewer police present than other rallies while Trump supporters were repeatedly assaulted without police intervention.
Law Officer could not confirm that an actual order took place.
Liccardo told the Associated Press, “Our police officers have done an extremely courageous and professional job so far………We’re all still holding our breath to see the outcome of this dangerous and explosive situation.”
He went on to blame Donald Trump for the violence, “At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign.”
