While live on air, a journalist and cameraman were attacked with tear gas along with crowds across from White House.

"Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne said the country’s embassy in Washington was directed to open an investigation into police officers in riot gear striking an Australian 7NEWS journalist and cameraman while they were live on air. The footage appears to show they were attacked by U.S. Park Police during protests near the White House. Law enforcement used tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse protesters from the area ahead of a photo opportunity for President Donald Trump on Monday."

^^^ Little Billy Barr ordered this. I hope, next year, a Justice Department under a new head brings charges against this vile pos.

For most of my life I tried to see that all people have value. This president has shown me that there are truly worthless people.

A lot of people are going to be coming up with a lot of excuses and even downright lies to try to justify why they believe govt agents should be able to attack the 1st amendment with impunity. We should only stop to ask ourselves what the fuck is wrong with them as Americans, and then move on.

Is that the same area where glass, bats, metal pipes, and other weapons were hidden among the peaceful protesters?

Link or it’s just more brandonbullshit.

I’ve seen legit reports of bricks and rocks being stashed in protest locations around the country. Nothing like that in Lafayette Square, DC. Even a Murdoch-owned outlet like the Sun is reporting that these appear to be stashed by extremists or police in the hope of stoking violence.

maybe they just want Americans to express our 2nd amendment rights against them, to defend our 1st amendment rights, lest they consider us beta cucks?

BBCNews covered some of the conspiracies going around.
We've been able to geolocate the video and found images from 24 May with the same pile of bricks in the same place, long before any protests took place.

As Colbert once said, if the first amendment wanted protection, it should have armed itself.

Conservatives don't care about free speech. They only care about their speech being free from consequences of negative public reaction, and fuck everyone else.

Conservatives only care about free speech when it is their free speech that calls for fighting against equal rights.
Conservatives only care about free speech when it is used to demonize those who don't agree with them.

Were there weapons of mass destruction too?
Pretty sure we've heard this song and dance before.
STFU and get out of the way.

Silly liberal, those cops totally had the right to defend their actions from being recorded by the media.
