The protests launched by militant leftists who shut down Donald Trump\u2019s Chicago rally were far more aggressive and destructive than reported, says a\u00a0Chicago Police officer.<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt seems the [media] aren\u2019t broadcasting footage of the debris being thrown across Harrison by Sanders\/Hillary supporters at Trump fans,\u201d the officer wrote<\/a>\u00a0shortly after the canceled Trump event.<\/p>\n

The officer, who posed anonymously on the\u00a0Second City Cop blog<\/a>, also noted the media didn\u2019t report that protesters were running through parking lots and breaking windows of cars with Trump stickers on them, or that the department called out emergency Incident Teams to cope with the anti-Trump riot at the University of Illinois in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Later that same day the officer posted a second<\/a>, much longer post, to detail the failures of the police leaders to plan for and respond to the protests.<\/p>\n

The officer insisted there was \u201cpretty much zero in terms of a unified Command Post\u201d for the event, and that officers had no central command to report to or coordinate response from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho wrote this plan?\u201d the officer wrote. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen and heard reports that UIC was woefully unprepared for this. They had their own people and Monterey Security inside. The Secret Service had a presence, but they\u2019re restricted to dignitary protection. The ISP had a squad there. And CPD. So where were the people geared up for a riot? For NATO we had an entire strike force geared up and ready to go. We had the Mounted Unit up and running. Tens of dozens of bikes. Did no one see this coming?\u201d<\/p>\n

The officer went on to insist\u00a0that suddenly emptying the pavilion of Trump fans and \u201cputting a few thousand people out on the street as targets\u201d was a terrible decision.\u00a0This decision led to many unnecessary confrontations between Trump fans and the anarchist protesters, the officer said. It also led to unnecessary property damage, the officer said.<\/p>\n

Next came a long list of questions:<\/p>\n

Who gave up the expressway? Who let them block ambulances? Why did they not assemble citywide Incident Teams as soon as they knew the rally was canceled? Tact Teams? We even heard Mass Arrest kits weren\u2019t available and only one transport wagon on scene in case arrests were made.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The criticism went farther.<\/p>\n

Who ever drew up this order failed miserably. Whatever the Intelligence Section was doing wasn\u2019t nearly enough. The On Scene Incident Commander failed to anticipate even the best case scenario and every other appointee showed how incompetent they really were by not ordering up more reinforcements and more units on stand-by.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Video that hasn\u2019t gotten much play<\/a> since that night also showed that the protests were far more raucous than previously reported.<\/p>\n

In all, it seems that at least this one Chicago Police Officer felt that the CPD fell down on the job during this incident.<\/p>\n
