I may be wrong but, either way, they certainly aren't up to anything good.

Equal protection of the laws. Nothing else acceptable. Believes police chiefs are committed to this. Meeting with commission on law enforcement trump created in 2016.

Within hours fbi had opened an investigation to see if Floyd cops violated federal law.

Blah blah, nice things about law enforcement being tarnished when they’re bad. Fbi holds sacred right to protest.

But Antifa and others have to stop.

Warmest sympathies to the family and those suffering across the country.

However, looting, arson, bombings, etc are stuff we respond to.

Investigating 7 fires in dc at the church, afl-cio, the PD, and other places.

CBS news asking why Barr got so involved. Barr exaggerating about break-ins at treasury and the fire in St. John’s. People throwing pavers at the cops. 114 injuries to federal agents with 22 hospitalizations. Prez asked him Monday to coordinate.

Moved the perimeter a block north. Hoped to do it quickly before protesters came, but were slow. Lies about unruly, projectile throwing protesters. Claim to have asked them 3 times to move.

Is it important for you to point out ALL the groups? (Yes, names Antifa again. Dealing with a “witches brew” of organizations.)

Could you have been more surgical in the ham handed way you bum rushed the peaceful protesters Monday? (No one answering this)

Asking whether they’re being too political posing with the prez at photo op.

Claims rioting was interfering with the government’s function.

Barr says well I was thinking we can collapse our perimeter cuz we have all these resources and such.

(But instead he’s building another fence?)
