Where were the police during the Berkeley riot? [View all]

There are dozens of videos posted of the event. How many instances can you find of the
cops conducting any meaningful and effective actions to break up the fights or disperse people...
even when the ANTIFA people were throwing M-80's, rocks and debris into the crowd?

For that matter, what plans did they have to even keep the two groups separated from
one another?

Seriously... temporary safety/snow fencing and plastic posts that could be knocked over by
a fart, that's your plan?
