Whoa. This @DCPoliceDept officer was nearly mobbed by a group of counterprotesters at #UniteTheRight2. People were throwing things at him, shoving him and kicking his motorcycle. Looks like another cop was also in the mix, too.pic.twitter.com/IHoc5dvebW

DC police are trying to clear the area near Lafayette Square and say the white nationalists have left. Counterprotesters here are very angry and aren’t buying it.

For the most part, counterprotesters have left the area but there are some scattered throughout the streets surrounding the White House.

A fairly large crowd of counterprotesters are gathered near the White House. “Fuck you” this person keeps yelling at officers. Many are angry at officers here for protecting the white nationalists and keeping the crowds separated.pic.twitter.com/jLYk4iiGz9

The crowd here is angry and it just feels tense. DC officers have created a barrier, boxing in the counterprotesters

Counterprotesters are getting more rowdy because they’re boxed in and aren’t being let out. DC officers are feeling the blunt of this crowd’s frustrations.pic.twitter.com/9jeP0rP47Y

Over half those cops were black. So much for black lives matter. This isn’t a peaceful protest it’s a violent riot
-
someone doesn’t know the definition of riot. -
Right. Violence
-
Oh so attacking police isn’t violence?
-
Look, I can see by your tweets you like to fire up Americans against each other. I’m not down with that. Good luck fleecing desperate families

24,000 subscribers and over 100,000 viewers per month don’t agree with you. Also videos are completely FREE.

Stick to that instead of inciting and promoting hate in the US. Dogs and cats literally have more subscribers and likes than you. Regardless good luck in any decent endeavors.

This is disgusting! Where is the respect for authority?? How were these ANIMALS raised and who raised them???? This is all wrong!! I would have put a net from above just like they do animals in the wild!!!
-
No. These people are not animals. They have way more reason to be angry than all those people at Trump rallies who scream & threaten the media.
-
Once you conduct yourself in a manner that lacks respect, no one is paying attention to their reason, valid or not. Protesting is used to get a message across, who can find the message in that disaster.. there is a right way and a wrong way of doing things.. this is the wrong way
-
This statement I can agree with. Calling people animals and wanting to drop a net over them was beneath you.
-
Again, people are showing you who they are in their actions. Conducting oneself in that manner, using profanities toward the police, expressing their desire to murder the president ... Really? I can guarantee 85%, and that’s generous, have no clue what they’re protesting. Sad..
-
Nope. Now you’re back off into racism. The “they don’t even know why they are doing it” line is a slap at their intelligence. A way to make them lesser beings who don’t have rational thoughts.
-
And where do you read anything about race?? I’m not looking at color.. I’m only seeing their disrespectful and classless behavior... I listen to the audio, I could care less who they are or what color they are!! Their behavior is despicable! Stop looking for a reason to defend!
-
I gave you an out to see where you really stood. I compared it to the hate at the Trump rallies. You haven’t touched that. That tells me a lot about you. Btw, 24plus years in law enforcement field, various positions. Spare me your outrage on behalf of cops. You’re just using L.E.
