Police used tear gas to clear protesters from Lafayette park so Trump could take a photo at St. John's Church

Law enforcement in Washington, DC, fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse peaceful protesters near the White House on Monday.

The attack, in front of St. John's Church, took place at about 6:30 p.m. local time, roughly 15 minutes before President Donald Trump spoke in the Rose Garden. After his brief speech he walked to the church and was photographed holding a Bible.

"There was no warning. The crowd was entirely peaceful," Jackson Proskow, the Washington bureau chief for the Canadian outlet Global News, posted on Twitter. "Trump had police move in with tear gas and horses so he could stage a photo op outside a church across the street."

Why has America never adressed the fact that you only need 5 months of police training? In Germany, those Police exams are no joke.

I do not think anyone is defending looting

looting (and burning) is being done by criminals who do not give a fuck about the protests and are just taking advantage of the chaos, and is also being done by agents provocateur (RW ones to try and discredit the legit protestors and frame them, LW ones to try and rip apart society)

I fully addressed what is going on here:

I'm with Spike Lee on the looting. All it takes is one idiot to throw a trash can through a shop window.....

but in the big scheme of things its just stuff, things, objects, - NOTHING compared to another murder by the police and loss of life

That could be a major step forward in reducing police brutality imo. It's so far behind other countries.

This is something I'm pulling from a vague memory, but wasnt there a clause or something where police would be marked down (paid less?) If they didn't catch any criminals/giving drivers tickets/whatever. Basically encouraging police officers to look for offences anyway?

There you go. No one here is defending the rioting/looting
