The United States Park Police (USPP) is committed to the peaceful expression of First Amendment rights. However, this past weekend’s demonstrations at Lafayette Park and across the National Mall included activities that were not part of a peaceful protest, which resulted in injuries to USPP officers in the line of duty, the destruction of public property and the defacing of memorials and monuments. During four days of demonstrations, 51 members of the USPP were injured; of those, 11 were transported to the hospital and released and three were admitted.

Multiple agencies assisted the USPP in responding to and quelling the acts of destruction and violence over the course of the weekend in order to protect citizens and property.

On Monday, June 1, the USPP worked with the United States Secret Service to have temporary fencing installed inside Lafayette Park. At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids. The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.

To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area. As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.


Throughout the demonstrations, the USPP has not made any arrests. The USPP will always support peaceful assembly but cannot tolerate violence to citizens or officers or damage to our nation’s resources that we are entrusted to protect.

I am shocked that our MSM would lie about all of this, I mean they are always so honest.

why am I totally NOT surprised not a single solitary liberal poster has come into this thread. Because it speaks FACT, to their 'truth'.

Cowards.
They are officially debunked.
They’re hiding behind the religious frock (a break from their anti-religious sentiments) to try to put this on Trump.
Now the truth is out and the rector- who was busy handing out supplies to the protesters- is their fallback for what they try to convince their sheep is the truth of the matter.
That’s shameful and deplorable, in sum liberals.

it was extremely telling of the general liberal population here to be outraged at Trump for appearing in front of a historic church with a Bible in his hands, yet NOT be outraged that part of the buildings on church grounds were torched by rioters.

Personally, I think burnging down part of a house of worship is a much more sacrelgious act than appearing in front of it with a Bible in your hands. But hey, that's just me I guess.
