CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — A police chief assisting with crowd control during a protest at the University of North Carolina told his officers to stand aside as protesters tore down a century-old Confederate monument, according to documents obtained by a television station.
The messages obtained by WRAL-TV show Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue closely monitored the Aug. 20 protest as his officers backed up the UNC police force that takes the lead in policing the Chapel Hill campus. The station used a public records request to obtain about 400 pages of emails and texts to and from Blue on the day of the protest and the day afterward.
During the protest around the statue known as "Silent Sam" in a main campus quad, Blue instructed officers "Let's give them lots of space" and "stay way out," the messages show.

Not very good at his job apparently. I guess police can just stand by and allow property to be destroyed.

Chapel Hill is the Berkeley of the east coast. A lot of northeastern liberals and trust fund kids. They think it’s paradise found. The statue is better off for not being on that POS campus. Screw ‘em.

Guy knew that if he let his officers crack skulls he would be out of a job by the next day.
Let the students destroy the statue and he is a hero to the SJW's that run the school and sign his check.
Easy decision.

Don't care about the statue.
The police shouldn't be at liberty to decide who or what they will protect.

Why?
The people destroying property need their asses kicked. The politicians and people who allow them to do this and demonize police for trying to clean the shite up.
The Chief, no matter how crappy a decision it was, was a result of the climate. You can't bitch about police roughing people up, and expect them to police the same.

Decided not to put his guys in danger. And especially not for a stupid fricking statue of the losers.
And i would wager, he was told to stand down.
