American Thinker reporting that UC Berkeley will be given the opportunity to rectify its mistakes
Napolitano, along with the Mayor of Berkeley, Jesse Arreguin, failed to request adequate assistance to prevent the violence that had been signaled by Leftists who cannot survive an airing of contrary views. Evidently, officers were issued orders and/or lacked equipment that could have prevented the violence that caused cancellation of the lecture. Water cannons are made for the purpose of breaking up violent mobs before they can do their worst. If the Campus police or Berkeley PD lack the equipment, there must be other agencies that have water cannons. The masked, uniformed, armed thugs who marched onto the Berkeley campus could have been thwarted much earlier. They were already violating the law, and should have been ordered to disperse. As the former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Napolitano ought to have been supremely qualified to understand and overcome the threat. [/quote]

Either use whatever force necessary to break up the threatening mob so that the talk can go ahead. Or if they fail to carry out their duties they should be cut off from Federal funding and sued into bankruptcy. If those are the options its given then its a win-win either way.
