The nation's capital braced itself with members of the National Guard guarding famous landmarks and patrolling a new pedestrian-only demonstration area as streets were closed off.

The White House remained a fortress, with black fences between seven and nine feet high erected around its perimeter cutting off protesters, as D.C.'s mayor formally renamed the street outside 'Black Lives Matter Plaza'.

Streets were shut in downtown from 6am as the first of the dozens of demonstrations organized for the day began and the city's metro system announced it was reopening cars closed due to coronavirus to boost rider capacity.

Yes. Whether or not the original BLM organizers claim to be non-partisan (if they’re even connected with it anymore), the current incarnation is definitely partisan. I wonder if bigger fish took over the organization and possibly even paid off the original people?

With the tremendous influx of millions of dollars that is basically being paid by large corporations as protection from looting and in the hopes of not being labeled as racists, they are definitely a PAC now.

Whatever happens, the corrupt media will portray the marchers as majority peaceful, just trying to work through their pain, and fighting systemic racism while the President will be maligned and accused of being a fascist dictator whose only purpose and goal is to destroy our democracy.

On D-Day, of all days. God help.

ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.

Get off your knees, white liberal cucks!

To the black man asking when the American dream begins, your mileage may vary based on the amount of effort you put in, not the color of your damn skin!

Judge not by skin, but only by deeds.

Looks like the troops carry the most used close-in fighting tool: the trenching spade

I see professionally made signs by SPTDC.com

“Stop Police Terror Project-DC is an organization in the Washington D.C. area committed to changing the system of racist, militarized policing in the nation’s capital. We work to not only oppose police abuses, but to advocate for alternatives to policing and help build community-led peacekeeping efforts designed to place the power over public safety squarely in the hands of Black and oppressed communities.”

Guess this tells you all you need to know about coronavirus.

It’s completely sickening how the left’s mental breakdown over losing the 2016 election and their hatred of Donald Trump has caused this escalation.

And hook-ups for the millennials. Can’t go to bars, so why not protests.
