They clear the park and push back across H street every night that they could 30 minutes or a bit later before curfew. Last night curfew for the city was set for 7pm to reduce destruction by the local DC government, not the feds.
Clearing the area is legal. You have to be indoors by 7pm, not leaving the streets at 7pm.
As I said, no teargas was used to clear the park, to disburse the H street area. Report correctly.
Your personal dislike for whomever occupies the WH is not relevant.
Rather than argue in circles on semantics, I will concede force was used near curfew, as it has EVERY night, to clear the streets. It was curfew, time to go home or face arrest. Peaceful protesters get that, as shown in both videos, the remainder had other agendas.

Anyway, about 80% of K440 will never agree with a US conservative, so it is pointless to discuss. The time for discussion is over, that seems pretty obvious. Funny thing is, I have not liked the last 4 occupants of the WH but I have yet to see a real, viable and thoughtful candidate make it through a primary. They all suck. I am tired of choosing varying degrees of suck.
I concede that the left has likely won the day and the argument with brilliant use of propaganda and the mob. The current WH occupant is so hated in media and by the Beltway establishment that nothing he can do will ever change their minds.

If I had a dollar for every time I read a Felgerkarb post that says he has no time for the present occupant of the White House before then going on to attack any criticism of him, I could have retired years ago.
It’s been a consistent theme since 2016.

Been up 48 hours straight, so sorry for the forum bombardment.
Rather than edit a comment above, I provide the following addendum and correction:
My eyewitness on the ground, a federal officer at the scene, stated no federal officer fired teargas in the park before the President came out. That of course does not account for what the local police may or may not have fired or done. He told me the local cops were humiliated over the last few nights by the inept response by the local DC government and the curfew change to 7pm. Then looking foolish in front of the federal authorities really chaffed their asses.

Uh oh - I hit a nerve.
Dunno why you feel so defensive about it. There’s no shame in embracing your inner Trump old chap so it’s kind of baffling why you feel the need to dance around the issue with tortured prevarications.

I support policies, not men. And I tend to avoid any topic along these lines, but I got tired of reading smarmy bullshit from people who don't really have a dog in the fight.
I spent more than half of my life working as an agent of the Republic from Reagan to Obama and have friends on the front lines of this crap. We all served or still serve with honor and distinction -- to be lumped into groups by critics of Trump as racists or whatever is galling and insulting. We were fine people 3 years ago, now we all suck and have to pay some sort of collective guilt price. Not happening. Ever.

Firstly, everyone has a dog in this fight. I expect you served to support the US’s well earned position as the moral guardian of the world. It is the gradual erosion of that position - exacerbated since 2016 - that makes the rest of the world cringe with embarrassment at the country’s standing falling so low. We quite genuinely miss that leadership. I suspect that is exactly why Mattis has spoken out.
Secondly which critic of Trump labels those who served as racists or whatever (your words)? That’s a ridiculous thing to say.

Which ones? K440 members I have as friends on FB...and recently unfollowed. People I know right here in PP to my face over drinks. Surprised me really.scobienz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:14 pmFirstly, everyone has a dog in this fight.

Defending the indefensible POTUS and his honorless security forces that tyrannize peaceful protesters has reached hysterical levels here. And Felgerkarb, if you cannot handle 48 hours without sleep, the solution is simple: take a nap!
I find it laughable that people on here defend a 7pm curfew in DC. Citizens of a free and democratic country need to resist such an illegitimate order, not sheepishly applaud it. Telling peaceful protesters to disperse is a violation of their right to protest, period.

Wasn’t it the case also that the 7pm curfew that evening was announced at 6.50pm?

I hope we can all agree that Brad Adams is a right cunt though. Besides all the nonsense about the US, how come he keeps singling out Cambodia for human rights abuses? Aren't there more pressing abuses in the region ?
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
No, we can't Lucky Lucan. I don't know the guy and therefore I'm not agreeing on him being a "cunt". Have lived in Cambodia for over ten years and haven't always agreed with him but he's been accurate on a lot of the abuses that have happened here. There's been precious few others who have been willing to call out the Government when they've done horrendous shit.
