Pretty horrifying. The police saw the "anarchists" (in reality they were Antifa but the Associated Depressed doesn't want to call them that) coming and decided, what the hell, let em in and don't check them for weapons and let them assault people.
Eventually some assaults were broken up by the cops, but at least one conservative protestor had to flee and scramble to get behind a distant riot-police line after being beaten and pepper sprayed.
Tolerating violence is now the policy of liberal municipalities.
Berkeley police chief Andrew Greenwood defended how police handled the protest, saying they made a strategic decision to let the anarchists enter to avoid more violence.
...
After the anarchists spotted Gibson at the Berkeley park, they pepper-sprayed him and chased him out as he backed away with his hands held in the air. Gibson rushed behind a line of police wearing riot gear, who set off a smoke bomb to drive away the anarchists.
Separately, groups of hooded, black-clad protesters attacked at least four other men in or near the park, kicking and punching them until the assaults were stopped by police. The assaults were witnessed by an Associated Press reporter.

Obama has realized yet another dream: Antifa. He asked for it, and how he has it.
Remember? Listen to him in his own words.
And watch carefully how the Mainstream Media has consistently covered for and lied about who Antifa really represents.
I am expecting that CNN will soon call Antifa "Freedom Fighters".
Pay attention to what is going on. In the last few months, the whining Hillary losers STILL cannot accept defeat, and will lie about nearly anything. So now they lie about these thugs Antifa. It will continue to get worse.

Nah...just being patriotic but you guys keep on truckin'.
How is it patriotic to support an attacking force not organized and run by those elected by the people?
I'm specifically talking about the USA, not Venezuela.
