Ike Baker Police Liason

Robert Isaacs, better known as "Ike Baker" was allegedly a Police Liason for the August 12, 2017 Unite The Right rally. His name appeared in the handwritten notes of former Charlottesville City Manager Maurice Jones from a meeting with rally organizer Jason Kessler.

Baker was listed as 'Police Liason" in an operational order created by Elliott Kline, which was released as part of a legal filing by the city of Charlottesville.

A declaration by Charlottesville Police Department Detective Tony Newberry shows that Newberry was responsible for gathering intelligence from the League of the South and Vanguard America prior to the rally.

It is unclear who the "security team" consisted of, but said security team apparently had advised the police of their plans.

On August 12, 2017, shortly before the riot on Market Street, Ike Baker was observed talking to someone on a cellphone at the Market Street Parking Garage. It is unclear if Baker had communication with the Charlottesville Police Department in the moments before the riot.

A spokesperson for the Charlottesville Police Department confirms that they did not do any joint planning with the Nationalist Front prior to the riot, despite some members of the Nationalist Front claiming otherwise.
