This is what I was afraid of. The DC police have clearly been given stand down orders. I saw multiple, multiple crimes being committed in front of the Deploraball.
I saw a bunch of thugs chasing Trump supporters through the streets. when they got to the entrance the DC police did absolutely nothing other than to stand there and shout, "stand back,' to the people chasing them. THEY SHOULD HAVE PEPPER SPRAYED THEM IMMEDIATELY AND ARRESTED THEM. Again, clearly they are being given stand down orders to ignore criminal activity.
The DC police have long been a worthless police force, only now it is live on tv for all to see. When they saw fires being set, they stood and looked on. When they saw people being chased they did nothing. When they saw people within inches of the police line at the ball room entrance they did nothing.
I was trained on riot duty. YOU NEVER LET POTENTIAL RIOTERS GET INSIDE YOUR ZONE WHICH IS USUALLY 3 TO 5 YARDS AWAY.
I repeatedly saw protesters within six inches of the police line. AGAIN, YOU GET OUT THE PEPPER SPRAY AND CLEAR THE ZONE OUT TO 10 TO 20 FEET.
The worthless DC police let the crazies completely fill the street, completely control the situation, engage in multiple crimes and only after watching this for a loong time did somebody, clearly not a command officer in the DC police issue the clear the street order.
IN all, this is one of theworst riot responses I have ever seen. Now we have worldwide, global news videos of THUGS AND SNOWFLAKES taking over several blocks of downtown DC, for an hour or two WITH NO POLICE RESPONSE TO MULTIPLE CRIMES.
If this is the level of incompetence by the DC police, we should all be concerned for Trump's safety Friday. The local clowns known as the DC police sure aren't going to do the job.
