let's review the shit excuses they gave when they agreed with the protestors:

Review faults police response to Charlottesville far-right rally | Reuters

Heaphy, whose team interviewed 150 people, said no police officer he spoke to felt good about what happened.

Officers were not properly trained or deployed, Heaphy said. State and city police used different radio systems during the rally so they could not communicate effectively.

Heaphy said Charlottesville wrongly believed it could not ban protesters from carrying items such as clubs and shields, and city and state police took too passive an approach when clashes broke out.

"Despite clear evidence of violence, police consistently failed to intervene, de-escalate, or otherwise respond," the report said. "These shortcomings contributed to a chaotic series of events that led to violence and death."
