After Trump Warns DC Mayor to Clean Up Streets, Cops Step Up Game, Smash Window to Stop BLM Van

During a protest in Washington, D.C., police sent a clear message to demonstrators who were not following orders, according to BizPacReview.

Police decked out in riot gear moved to disperse crowds lingering after an anti-police protest, and forcefully confronted people blocking a street in a van painted with Black Lives Matter signs.

Trump did not hold back his thoughts on the matter.

President Trump said Mayor Bowser “should arrest these agitators and thugs!Clean up D.C. or the Federal Government will do it for you. Enough!!!”

Black Lives Matter protesters had gathered for the second straight night of demonstrations and, following the end of a march at Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House, got into confrontations with police, the Washington Post reported.

“These individuals ignited fireworks, intentionally set fires, as well as threw projectiles–including glass, bricks and smoke grenades, at officers in the area. Additionally, lasers were used to visually impair officers,” the MPD spokesperson said in an email.

More from BizPacReveiw:

A van noted by some social media users as the “Riot Snack Van” that was reportedly seen in nightly riots in Portland was amid the crowds of protesters in D.C. Sunday. Metropolitan Police Department officers began pushing the crowds back after objects were reportedly thrown at them. The driver of the van appeared not to heed the orders to stop the vehicle.

An officer quickly approached the spray-painted van and smashed the window, ordering the driver to stop. Video showed the MPD officer ordering the driver to put the vehicle in park and get out. It was not clear if the driver, who was seen briefly on the ground, was arrested as he and a passenger in the van were removed.

I’m thinking the food/snack trucks that supposedly supply “protestors” with food are under watch as they are probably supplying the weaponry. DOJ should have caught on way before now though. They better be sniffing out those fake medics too.

BLM is nothing more than a bunch of thugs with a slogan.

Lives matter!
If you need a color in
front of those words,
You are a racist.

This isn’t 1968 any more and Hickory Shampoos were never a good idea. Why? Because sure, they were used against Leftists - but now they’re used against conservatives in leftist cities as the precedent was set.

Clean up D.C. or the Federal Government will do it for you.

Trump said the same thing about Seattle, Portland, Chicago. The best way for the feds to do this is not to send in the National Guard but to crack down on Antifa's funding and the organizations which fund it - not just Soros, but all of the foundations run by left-wingers which are funneling money to domestic terrorists. Maybe the FBI can take a bit of time off from trying to overthrow an elected president to investigate outfits like the Ford Foundation and where its money is going.

It is long past time to be taking names for a no fly list.they flew into BWI from Seattle last Wednesday.the FBI needs to get the names and flush out the money stream. The corporate sponsors need to pay heavily and Trump needs to Dox them not protect them.

Its possible the feds are collecting intel on their sources of funds right now, and looking for legal avenues to put a stop to such funding. It’ll take time.

“Hickory shampoos for the unwashed masses!“

Interesting. The OCCUPANTS of the van got a free tune-up.

I suspect that they already know and are working the evidence for a big bang of arrests/indictmenrs.

The FBI is worthless and a nest of Antifa/BLM supporters. Perhaps a loyal agency, like BATF or the U.S Marshals could deal with the terrorist groups.
