    It seems from your post that you think that are the only one that matters. You should look around before assuming that you speak for everyone in the world. I might be wrong however. Maybe I don't know just how important you are.

    The number of cops killing blacks unjustly is small compared to the number of illegals killing Americans. Why don’t these self-righteous pinheads protest against illegals?

    Answer: it’s all about destroying traditional America and replacing it with an authoritarian, leftist state.

    It’s a Maoist cultural revolution. Reforming the police is a major step.

    Not at all odd that you left this out..........

    McEnany defended the decision by the U.S. Park Police to use chemical agents to clear protesters from the park outside the White House, claiming police issued three warnings before doing so and that protesters hurled projectiles at law enforcement officers.

    I would guess that they received them from members of the CBC. African-Americans sometimes wear Kente cloth (usually the scarves) at ceremonies especially graduations - I'm convinced they also do this sometimes at lodge meetings (those are secret so can't be sure) - special events/honors ceremonies. So, they joined the black Congressmen in this tradition. Nice gesture ...

    Oh..... reporters. roflmao

    The Secret Service said in a statement Saturday that six protesters were arrested and “multiple” officers were injured. There were no details on the charges or nature of the injuries. A spokesman for U.S. Park Police said their officers made no arrests, but several suffered minor injuries and one was taken to a hospital after being struck in the helmet by a projectile.

    It’s sad you think throwing bottles and rocks and breaking into the Dept of Tresuary is peaceful...I guess some in the Middle East thought 9-11 was peaceful protest

    Statement from U.S. Park Police acting Chief (maybe you consider Jim Acosta more reliable)

    To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area. As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. USPP officers and other assisting law enforcement partners did not use tear gas or OC Skat Shells to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.

    They did not have to use tear gas or wield batons to get theirs.
