CONFIRMED: Chapel Hill Police Chief Ordered Officers To Stand Down In Texts And Emails During Silent Sam Protest

ACTBAC is having a Silent Sam rally tonight at UNC.

The League of the South has been hesitant to get involved in this. I’m not eager to walk into another trap in a liberal stronghold in a college town where suddenly we find ourselves in volatile situation with Antifa because the police have been ordered to stand down.

Antifa isn’t the problem per se. The problem is the corruption of these liberal enclaves. The local government is corrupt. The police are corrupt. We know the way it works now. We show up to hold a peaceful event in one of these cities. The police are given a stand down order by corrupt leftwing politicians, which allows violent Antifa to attack our group, which forces us to defend ourselves, which is then taken out of context and hysterically spun by the fake news media as a “white supremacist invasion.” Then we get arrested, demonized, deplatformed and subjected to lawfare.

Chapel Hill seems to be trying to recreate the Charlottesville formula:

“CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Police Chief Chris Blue instructed Chapel Hill officers to stand aside last week as protesters pulled down a controversial Confederate monument on the University of North Carolina campus, a review of Blue’s text messages and emails shows.

Following a public records request, WRAL News obtained about 400 pages of emails and texts sent to and from Blue on Aug. 20-21 – before, during and after the protest that led to the toppling of the “Silent Sam” statue. …

Blue sends a thumbs-up emoji and suggests helping with traffic control.

When someone lets him know officers on bicycles are already doing that, he replies, “Ok. Monitor the masked folks. Keep our folks off McCorkle place for now.”

“Need to make sure our plainclothes guys are really looking out for counter protesters to arrive,” Blue texts at 7:35 p.m. “This thing is all over tv and internet. The longer they take with the statue the more time Folks have to arrive.”

“We connected with them. They are going to keep us posted,” someone replies.

At 9 p.m., Blue texts, “Let’s give them lots of space.” That was followed by, “Yes but do not engage w Crowd at statue. Stay way out.”

When he tells his officers that UNC officers also are backing away from “Silent Sam,” someone texts him, “Copy our folks did as well.”

“Wral shows CHPD guys too close. Back up,” Blue replies.

“Silent Sam” came down shortly after those texts went out. …”

Why was Silent Sam allowed to be torn down by a violent mob in the first place? It was because the police were ordered to stand down and allow it to happen.

If you are going to this event tonight, you need to be extra cautious and on the lookout for the police standing down and pulling another Charlottesville on you. You can’t just assume because you are on American soil that the police in Chapel Hill, NC are going to do their jobs

Note: The Justice Department needs to get involved in this. We’re seeing the rise of the leftwing equivalent of sundown towns where vigilante mobs are given a license by local governments to break the law. This is an inexcusable situation that has to be addressed by federal oversight.
