VA State Police: Gov. McAuliffe Lied, No Cache of Weapons Found

Governor repeats disputed claim that protesters were better equipped than police
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) was contradicted by the Virginia State Police again on Wednesday after he claimed weapons were hidden around Charlottesville during a white supremacist rally turned riot.
During an interview with Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, McAuliffe explained why police were often hesitant to try and break up violent altercations between white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and Antifa factions. He said the white supremacists and neo-Nazis were heavily armed and prepared to commit violent acts from the start, and police were trying to avoid escalating the violence. He then claimed police had discovered weapons caches throughout the city.
"They had battering rams and, you know, we had picked up different weapons they had stashed around the city," McAuliffe told Mckesson. "This was a powder keg. This was a very volatile situation. And I'll once again say, I am very proud of our team on the ground. Nobody hurt except for those people hit by the car and you couldn't stop that."
However, Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller told Reason magazine that no such weapons caches were discovered.
"The governor was referring to the briefing provided him in advance of Saturday's rally and the extra security measures being taken by local and state police," Geller said. "As a safety precaution in advance of August 12, such searches were conducted in and around Emancipation and McIntire Parks. No weapons were located as a result of those searches."
The contradiction represents the second time this week that Gov. McAuliffe has been at odds with Virginia State Police. On Monday, Virginia State Police said they were not outgunned by any of the Charlottesville protesters and were well prepared to handle the event.

Confederate Monuments
White Supremacists
ANTIFI
No Democrat is capable of discussing those issues honestly, and that includes the MSM.

The DOJ will get to the bottom of the democrat Mayor supposedly telling the police to standdown, like was done in Berkley.

An easily manipulated group of Soros funded ANTIFA communists clashed with a group of easily manipulated white supremecist led by a man who loves Obama and Soros and that clash led to a week long shite fest assault on the president and free speech.
Up next: Gun rights and the open internet

So another Democrat leader allowed the groups to cause violence and attack innocents.
This is a pattern as there are lawsuits in several cities now where Democrat leaders are being sued bc they told police to step down and allow the other side to be attacked.
Is it just me, or is it almost as if they want this violence to take place.

The gov is a lying, pandering POS and I sure hope karma bites him on the arse rather soon. And glad to see that the state police is standing up and refuting his lying shameful comments.

Cantwell alone had 4 or 5 guns on him. Also a knife. He proudly displayed it in his video.
Are you stupid enough to believe he was alone in carrying excessive amounts of weaponry?
