DC Police Department Finally Admits Role in Big Scandal One Year After Media Pinned Blame for It on Trump

Attorneys representing the Muriel Bowser administration’s police force in Washington, D.C., made what should be a stunning admission in federal court last week.

According to a report from WUSA-TV, a leading source of local news for the District of Columbia, “An attorney for DC Police said in court, for the first time, that the department did indeed use tear gas on protesters around Lafayette Square Park last June.”

“The curfew, violence of past nights, chaos created by federal defendants, discharge of tear gas in that direction was not unreasonable,” lawyer Richard Sobiecki said.

This admission is noteworthy because the Metropolitan Police Department, under the ultimate command of Mayor Bowser, has maintained that it was not involved in the clearing of protesters by federal law enforcement last year before then-President Donald Trump posed for a now-famous photo at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

The love to poke us in the eye after they got away with the lie.

Nothing will come from this. The lie has stuck. Trump used tear gas on peaceful protesters so he could have a photo op.

Truth is irrelevant in our communist society.

A photo which was perfectly fine and we had Republicans and the military running in fear from it.

Because suddenly presidents don’t do “photo ops” and they are evil.

We’ve become a cowardly stupid country.

I watched live on tv while the “peaceful protestors” assaulted the secret service non stop for about 48 hours.

It is easy to blame Trump and white males for everything when the media will back you up no matter the truth.
