The markets start to lose faith in Trump. Stupid of them to have had any faith in the incompetent fool to begin with.

Who are you accusing of promoting killing cops? Serious charges like that require clear evidence.

Black Lives Matter. Seems like there were quite a few with those shirts in the crowd. And, no I didn't not see any guns pulled by either side, but both sides had signs that were used as clubs which is seen in videos that were not picked through by the left wing media.
I am curious about this order for the police to stand down ?
Whose idea was that, and why ?

BLM, afaik, isn't anti-cop, tho some may be actively hostile to adversarial policing. "They" appear to me to be about law enforcement being as accountable as those they are supposed to "serve and protect". The BLM anti cop meme is rightist authoritarian nonsense.

If that is the case then they should quiet down those in the group chanting to that affect.

BLM is not a church with a catechism. Someone wearing a shirt is not remotely close to 'clear evidence.' Unless you have individuals who really made truly unjustifiable threatening statements, showing up on the ground in Charleston, you have nothing.
I did see gun pulled by one side (ABC News report): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0A8y6S6JGs
I'd like more info about the police too. In the famous Vice report there's a sequence where a fellow with a militia-look is shown purportedly talking to a police contact, threatening to go downtown with 200 armed men. I don't believe he had 200 armed men, but it's not an incredible threat. I wonder if he really was talking to the police, or just faking it for the camera. If he did have contact, I'd like to know who talked to him, what was said on the police side, and if there were other police negotiations with the White Nationalists.

Treasury secretary's deplorable trophy wife. Typical for Trump administration.

An article about ANTIFA, puffing a new handbook about it: https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...harlottesville
Good basic primer from an alternative source, if all your info comes from right-wing media.....
