It looks like the DC Metro and Park Police are taking a stand to drive back 'protestors' from destroying the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Park.
This is clear provocation. They're testing the limits of how close they can get to the White House.

Napalm. At this point it may be the only option.
These people are moving in on the White House. They have to be stopped 'by any means necessary' as they say.
To: yesthatjallen
‘These People’ are never going to get into the White House -they aren’t even going to try.
Have a little faith in the Secret Service.
Jeez.

Why would you want to give those poor kitties and nice bear food poisoning? What did they ever do to you meriting such treatment?

Several years ago, I saw a neighbor’s unrestrained, unleashed dachshund annoy and try to take on my cat at the time.
The cat proceeded to start taking the dachshund apart and slapped him down a flight of stairs. Hint for dachshund: Taking on a very muscular 15lb cat that has all his teeth and claws is perhaps not the smartest thing in the world.

You've got a point there.

My aunt always kept Dachshunds. I think she was one of the first people to bring the long-haired ones to the US.
One day, she gave me a cat that she thought I would like. This cat (Duke) had grown up with her Dachshund, Prince.
A few years later, she wanted to travel to Europe for several weeks, and asked me take care of Prince. As soon as that dog walked through the door, our cat remembered him and the two were butting heads and loving one another up.

I'll raise and call in one particular instance: about eighteen years ago (give or take), we had taken our male Dachshund home with us to visit my mother at Christmas (his sister came along for the ride). She had a male orange tabby who tipped the scales at 24 pounds. All feline meat, barely an ounce of fat. Well, Tabby liked to hide in the Christmas tree, as cats are wont to do. Our doxie was sniffing along the fireplace hearth and noticed him in up in the tree somewhere. He went into full stalking mode, head down, tail wagging, and crept towards the tree. As soon as he got his nose into the boughs, this.......BASEBALL MITT came shooting out and literally slapped him back and forth so quickly, it was a blur. He backed off and stood there, puzzled, and looked at everyone in the room like, "What the hell was that?" He slowly crept off and went back downstairs with his tail tucked, and avoided the tree completely for the rest of the visit. He tangled with a Baby Huey cat that was 30" long and weighed twice his size, and he held a grudge for the rest of his life. Even after the cat passed away, he avoided the tree when we went to visit.

Yes, cats and dogs can get along together, even bond to the point of sibling affection if they’re raised side by side young enough, but to put two in the same room without that sense of familiarity is asking for lots of blood and fur to be cleaned up. It’s a rule of nature. Dachshunds were bred as hunting dogs. And cats are, well........cats.

I’ve introduced other cats who came to live in households with dogs whom they’d never met. I’m remembering specifically a West Highland Terrier, and a DSH whom I got as a kitten; they were both several years old, and became ‘head-butting’ friends, as well, very quickly.
I have most experience with cats, not dogs; but in my experience, cats have seemed to be very adaptable to new conditions.
I’m hoping to learn more about dogs, in upcoming retirement :-)

It just takes a couple of swipes at the dog nose and the dog never bothers them again. My 90 pound dog will walk way out of his way to avoid the cat but he likes the cat

I'm already in medical retirement mode; I learned the finer points of feline behavior after our house got gutted by a lightning strike seven years ago, claimed our dogs, and we inherited these five orphaned rats in the process. LOL Trust me, cats do not adapt too well at the onset of new conditions. These five little boogers (all blood related, BTW - Granny, Mom, and three siblings) found a way to claw at everything INCLUDING the doors frames, mark their territory even with a litter box in direct view, and choose tribal sides at will. And they say cats are 'clean'? Bullshit. At least once a week we're sweeping and vacuuming up enough hairballs to knit a spare cat. They scratch and spew a grit of dry skin and general grunge wherever they camp out. And they're house cats - they don't go outside unless it's a rare escorted field trip, so they're not picking it up from just roaming and being let in at the end of the day. No matter how many different brands and makes of food we have tried (and my wife could give you a college dissertation on what is what and a recipe list of ingredients), they yak up puddles of liquid, hairballs, and undigested cat food that looks like a Stuckey's nut log. And cats are stupid - every time they blink, they think it's a brand new day. Lookit, I'm on the downhill side of 60, and my parents decided we needed a dog for domestic purposes when I was still in diapers. I've had one (or more) the bulk of my life. Trust me, dogs are a better investment if you're looking for a companion animal.
P.S. - don't tell our cats I said that.

The federal government through its various agencies and departments has a virtual army of armed officers. Why can the FBI commit atrocities such as Ruby Ridge but can't assist in keeping Lafayette Park clear of this destructive garbage. With all the fedgov cops why can't the base of the Jackson statue be kept clear of defacement? WTH is wrong with the government that you and I pay for? Oh, yes, they are taking a knee to get rid on DJT.
