George Floyd protests: Barr reportedly made order that led to violent removal of peaceful protesters


Attorney general William Barr personally asked for the perimeter around the White House to be extended, resulting in the forcible removal of peaceful protesters, according to the Washington Post.


Barr ordered law enforcement officials on the ground to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square, which is adjacent to the White House, just before President Trump spoke Monday, a Justice Department official said.
According to two federal law enforcement officials, the decision had been made late Sunday night or early Monday morning to extend the perimeter around Lafayette Square by one block. The plan was to be executed, according to the Justice Department official, the following afternoon. Barr was a part of the decision-making process, the official said.
The Justice Department official said that in the afternoon, Barr went to survey the scene, and found the perimeter had not been extended. The attorney general conferred with law enforcement officials on the ground, which the official said is captured in a video of the incident.
‘He conferred with them to check on the status, and basically said, ‘This needs to be done. Get it done,’ ’ the Justice Department official said.

The report will almost certainly intensify scrutiny of the decision to deploy tear gas to disperse the crowd of demonstrators, who had been peacefully protesting in the moments before law enforcement officials advanced.

SEE IT: Looters run through Manhattan, raid skateboard shop for more than two minutes before police arrive

One video, recorded by a Daily News reporter, shows a group of men, all wearing masks, using bats and wooden planks to pound at windows at Zumiez, a skateboarding apparel store at Broadway near E. 13th St. in the East Village.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. America is extremely inclusive. Even their white supremacists are diverse.
 
So when can we start pointing out Antifa members and have them investigated? Cause I know of a sea of hidden Antifa garbage including prepping against riot control inside the f#cken furry fandom believe it or not.

U.S. Marines trained alongside French gendarmes recently to respond to a riot during a U.S. embassy reinforcement exercise in France.

Police are trained as riot control.

So is the National Guard. Using their training, the National Guard killed 4 students who were protesting Nixon bombing Cambodia.

Bringing the military in brings in a sense of escalation, which leads to over reactions like Kent State.

If it was white on white or black on black then 0 entertainment value. We thrive on racism in this country.

650 000 volts. Not the one with the extender thing (what's that even called?).

I used to use public transport when I was younger as I didn't have the luxury of a vehicle of my own for a long time, so when I was alone I used to walk with it in my hand. I have been afraid for my life 3 times --> hijacked, home invasion and was chased by a guy hiding in bushes when I was walking home from high school.

Now I am armed. Screw the tazer.

Just as an FYI, that's not a Taser and it doesn't work in the same way as a Taser does.
 
The Minnesota department of human rights has filed a formal civil rights racial discrimination charge against the Minneapolis Police Department.


The state cites “unlawful race-based policing” in the death of George Floyd, an African American man who died after being knelt on for almost nine minutes on the Memorial Day holiday, May 25, by a white police officer who has since been fired and charged with murder. Three other officers involved were fired but have not yet been detained or charged.

Governor Tim Walz announced the filing at a news conference this afternoon.

The department enforces the state’s human rights act, the AP reports, particularly as it applies to discrimination in employment, housing, education, public accommodations and public services.

Mediation is one of its first-choice tools, but the cases it files can lead to fuller investigations and sometimes end up in litigation.

The Minneapolis Police Department has faced decades of allegations of brutality and other discrimination against African Americans and other minorities, even within the department itself.

Critics say its culture resists change, despite the elevation of Medaria Arradondo as its first black police chief, in 2017.

Arradondo himself was among five black officers who sued the police department in 2007 over alleged discrimination in promotions, pay, and discipline.

They said in their lawsuit that the department had a history of tolerating racism and discrimination. The city eventually settled the lawsuit for $740,000.

The National Guard is trained in civil unrest in both a State and Federal mission. Law enforcement is part of their training and many of the guard are also peace officers.

A story in three parts.

De Blasio cannot in any way be objective as his daughter was involved in the protests. Dems fighting with each other! Race to the bottom!

Yes and?

Still doesn't detract from the fact that trained National Guardsmen killed unarmed students.
