United States Park Police officials defended themselves Tuesday from charges that they fired tear gas at protesters outside of the White House, and denied that they dispersed a demonstration just so that President Donald Trump could walk from the White House across the street to the historic St. John’s Church.
Trump and the Park Police both ran afoul of mainstream media commentators for the incident Monday, with many on social media claiming that the Park Police used extraordinary and violent measures to disperse a peaceful protest simply so the president could take photos outside of the historic church which was nearly burned Sunday night, per Fox News.

I can believe that. The Park Police never do anything. The people in the park were refusing to disperse, counting on this, but I guess when whatever “real” police force it was came along, things changed...
There is nothing more afoul than mainstream media commentators.

If it’s not on film it didn’t happen..
And Gee, you would think with all the cells phones the news organizations would have reported on it...
Laws don’t matter if you a left-wing ‘protester’.
Golly. If only there was some sort of technology available that people can use to record these events visually so they can be verified or refuted.

Demonstrators Were Attacking Cops
It’s what they do.
They’re only peaceful protests until they don’t get their way.
If the police were not wearing gas masks then it wasn’t gas, it was smoke.
Now there's something unusual.
Of course that don’t. Besides violence, and being anti-Capitalist, Antifa hates authority. So that’s why you use the necessary force to remove them when they refuse to go as ordered.
Good point. I haven't seen any of the video and didn't know that.
Makes sense.....I mean the police are sure not going to gas themselves! LOL...at least I hope not!!
