SAN JOSE -- Police have identified and plan to arrest suspects involved in the violence that ensued after the Donald Trump rally last week, authorities said Monday.

Investigators have been reviewing witness statements and video evidence that may lead to the arrests of people involved in the violence that broke out between protesters and supporters at the Trump rally Thursday, according to a news release from San Jose police.

About 400 protesters showed up outside the convention center Tuesday, and some clashed with Trump supporters leaving the rally. Several videos show Trump supporters being egged, punched and kicked.

Four people were arrested as of Friday. Police have not identified the suspects.

SJ mayor Sam Liccardo also said that accusations he ordered police to "stand down" during the riots are just rumors, and such a move is illegal per the city charter. Liccardo had been criticized for stating that Trump needed to take responsibility for his rhetoric leading to violence and problems for local police, before even condemning the rioters.

1. We are the most medicated society on the planet...

...but we are still crazy as hell.

The fact that a guy like Trump can get to where he is right now is evidence of that. And now the people who were supposed to be the sane ones are going nuts.

9. With as much video as they must have

there better be arrests.

The video that has been all over the place shows aggravated assaults. The perpetrators must be arrested and prosecuted.
