"A very small number of individuals chose criminal conduct," Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams told reporters.
And while they were referred to as individuals, they are more like seditious conformists who apparently hate authority and the rule of law.
The leftists (who are probably Antifa members) broke down fencing and "at one point dispersed gas into and at the police officers," Williams said. "They had their own gas they threw at police; not our gas."
Which indicates that they are organized and probably funded, possibly by a socialist/globalist who was born in Budapest, Hungary and whose name is a palindrome.
The violence looked a lot like the mayhem at Antifa protests. Local police were dressed in riot gear to disperse pepper balls and tear gas at the crowds. Initially they directed the pepper spray at individual leftist rioters, but eventually had to deploy the larger-scale gas.
Only four people were arrested in connection with the violence, and two were charged with aggravated assault on a police officer. Hopefully, they will be tried and sentenced to some serious time in prison.
Phoenix Democratic Mayor Greg Stanton described the event mostly as a civil celebration of First Amendment rights. There were tens of thousands of demonstrators and Stanton noted that a "very small number of people" chose to engage in "acts of assault on our police officers." He called it "very, very unfortunate."
Well, I'm very, very glad he called it unfortunate. Being that he's a Democrat, he could have blamed the presence of the police as a trigger to the violence, but he didn't.
Of course he didn't want to associate them with Antifa so he said of those arrested, "I don't think they're affiliated with any organization."
What's his evidence for not thinking that they were associated with any organization?
Oh wait--he's a Democrat--he doesn't need evidence.
