Video shows protesters hurling bricks, striking officers outside White House
The Department of the Interior released new footage Wednesday of U.S. Park Police clashes with violent protesters outside the White House late last month, showing protesters repeatedly striking officers and hurling bricks and other projectiles at them.
"The video shows agitators throwing bricks, glass, bottles, and other assaults against law enforcement officers," an agency spokesman said. "More than 60 U.S. Park Police officers have been injured since these protests started, some hospitalized requiring surgeries."
The video, according to the agency, was taken during protests before June 1, when authorities cleared Lafayette Park to give President Donald Trump a path to visit St. John's Church. The actions taken by police were roundly criticized by Trump's political opponents and media commentators, who have repeatedly characterized the ongoing anti-police protests as peaceful.
The Park Police defended the decision to clear Lafayette Park, emphasizing the violence officers had dealt with in the days leading up to June 1.
Why did it take weeks to get this to the public?
Too many resisters still holed-up in these agencies.
So peaceful all they did was return a few weeks later and try to tear down Andrew Jackson’s statue lots of Michael Rowed the Boat ashore being sung
Fine, are they going to arrest those identified?
Gotta get these images out to the public - I don’t think most people realize how bad it’s gotten.
Are there shots of police violence against the peaceful PROtestors?
Yep. They leave Trump hanging out there alone, with the great lie everywhere. Would be nice if a bunch of people get removed from Interior over this.
WTF took so long???
I swear Democrats would have had that out in 10 minutes!!
I knew It!
.
Peaceful my A$$!
I am so disgusted by this country.....
Does anyone know how to cure a Rabid Dog??
We are at war and the enemy is the communists Democratic party.
I can see where perhaps the Secret Service wanted to vet the footage (make sure it revealed nothing in the way of specialized equipment or defense tactics, etc.) But that should have taken days, not weeks.
Because the actions were felonies and they were all conspiring together I hope they all get charged with all the crimes that occurred that day. We may not be able to reform these fools but we can make sure they get stuffed into a hole for years.

Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it’s coming from as it moves swiftly towards you. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Civilization
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.
