Editor’s note: The Nevada City Police Department’s Facebook page tonight points to a statement by the Police Chief that has been republished on YubaNet:
“As many of you have heard, Sunday evening [August 9] there was a Black Lives Matter protest/march in Nevada City. Historically, Nevada City has been a place where peaceful protest are welcomed and encouraged by the community at large. During yesterday evenings peaceful Black Lives Matter protest participants were met by a group of counter-protesters who appeared to have no purpose other than to bring controversy and conflict to the streets of Nevada City. The Black Lives Matter protesters consisted of local community members and not people ‘bussed in’ as rumors suggest.
“Over the course of the day, I have had the opportunity to review several different video clips of the conflict provided to me by the community. I was both appalled and disappointed by the behavior of the counter-protesters.”
The rest of the statement is here.

Here’s a Sacramento TV report:
We appreciate comments, but please sign your real name. Thanks.
How do l share this on my fb page? It’s a heads up for all of our foothill communities to be watchful. I guess l took it for granted that somehow our small communities would be exempt to this infiltration.
