United States Park Police officials defended themselves Tuesday from charges that they fired tear gas at protesters outside of the White House, and denied that they dispersed a demonstration just so that President Donald Trump could walk from the White House across the street to the historic St. John’s Church.Trump and the Park Police both ran afoul of mainstream media commentators for the incident Monday, with many on social media claiming that the Park Police used extraordinary and violent measures to disperse a peaceful protest simply so the president could take photos outside of the historic church which was nearly burned Sunday night, per Fox News.

Question.... If tear gas had been deployed, wouldn’t the area remain contaminated for an extended period? Apparently no tear gas was present when the President visited the area very shortly following the supposed use of tear gas by police to disperse the “peaceful demonstrators”. Curious ?

But, But, But, it came from CNN, MSNBC, so it has to be true - or fabricated

The MSM and Democraps, but I repeat myself, are very hard at work claiming the Protestors are being treated badly etc...when in Reality the Protestors are arm and arm with the Antifa and BLM thug Arsonists/Rioters etc. This is by design so they can use the false claim of Protestors treatment.
Get a clue folks, this is the methodology of the left, nothing has changed but the particular actors.

Ran afoul of mainstream media that's rich like President Trump or myself included cares about the mainstream foul media at any time. They have to find something to blame on Trump six or seven times daily.

This was widely reported as fact yesterday. The AP in my paper this morning: “as Trump spoke...tear gas canisters could be heard exploding as police and National Guard soldiers aggressively forced back hundreds of protesters who...chanted peacefully against police brutality.” So many lies: it was the Park Police, not Nat. Guard soldiers. There was no aggression-they moved slowly and stopped every few feet-and no tear gas. Yet people believe these lies.

Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

If you saw Tucker Carlson last night, you would know how “peaceful “ these protesters are. Too bad we have trouble finding honest reporting. Sickening and disgusting.

Fox News reporters had to pull back because things were starting to get unstable, and violence seemed imminent. And the curfew was nearing, they needed to clear the area anyway.

Why not? People don't have the right to take adverse posession of public spaces. The definition of peaceful protest precludes anything that would impose harm or discomfort on others. Their right to protest ends at my right to walk in public parks without harassment.

Well come on, Enemedia. Put up the video or shut your lying traps. Pretty simple here.
Since the Enemedia specialize in Fake News, I know which claim I believe.

After the first instance of violence or vandalism, if you are still part of the crowd, you deserve what follows and that should be the kind of thing that follows you the rest of your life. The left salivates about this violence, this war. They are using every caution, every kindness, every exception to enable them to cause as much harm as possible. Anyone throwing a bottle of gas at anything building,car or people should be shot on the spot. There are real killers in these crowds and they need to be stopped. If a clueless leftist goes down with them, that is on the dope who thought they had the right to destroy things and people they don't like.
