Except none of that happened. The university was the one that organized the event in the first place. The university called the police and tried to get the riot under control so that they could continue with the event. The police said that it was too dangerous for the event to continue, so the university was forced to cancel it. Clearly, because of this they should be defunded!
if they were trying to stop the rioting than it was the stufftiest, lackluster effort I have ever seen
have you watched the footage? there isn't any proactive policing there, it's just clip after clip of the rioters crossing the line over and over and over again with no significant repercussions
that and the mayor of Berkeley called Yiannopoulos a white nationalist and openly said that he wasn't welcome there before the event was even supposed to take place
there are rumors going around saying that the mayor himself ordered the police to stand down, and you know what? I'm not into conspiracy theories but this is entirely believable and the mounting evidence against Jesse Arreguin (the mayor) is pretty convincing and not helping him at all
I'm inclined to believe it
