Description
Not Trump. A democrat. Yep...Bowser. Washington DC Metro Police. READ IT BELOW... (Do you think demorat and rhino "leaders" in Wash DC knew this all along? YOU BETCHA! 12 square miles of spies and well placed Obama-mites in the Metro police had to know. But of course they shield this from the liberal "little people" firing up their emotions. Hey, how come Bowser didn't come clean long ago????????? Punked all you liberals for emotions eh??) The MPD’s Deputy Director of the Office of Communications Kristen Metzger told The Federalist that the tear gas was one of the crowd control tools deployed after individuals began throwing multiple objects at MPD officers, including “an incendiary device attack that seriously burned and scarred the limb of an MPD officer.” In court proceedings last week, attorneys for the MPD sought dismissal of a lawsuit brought by Black Lives Matter and individual demonstrators. The plaintiffs claimed their constitutional rights had been violated by the then-Trump administration, federal officers, including the Park Service, and the MPD, when rioters were cleared from Lafayette Park and the surrounding areas. The federal government has steadfastly maintained that it did not use tear gas, and the MPD has denied any involvement in the removal of rioters from Lafayette Park. But in arguing for dismissal, the MPD’s brief acknowledged that the court must accept as true the plaintiffs’ allegation that tear gas had been used by the district officers outside of Lafayette Park. During a hearing last week on the MPD’s motion to dismiss, the district likewise argued that the use of tear gas would be justified. Now, the MPD is confirming that tear gas was used by district officers outside of Lafayette Park — something it had not done in its legal filings to date. The MPD’s admission explains the divide between on-the-ground reporting of the use of tear gas and denials by the federal government of the use of tear gas to clear Lafayette Park: The evidence to date supports the federal government’s claims that it did not deploy tear gas on June 1, 2021, and that tear gas was not used to clear Lafayette Park.
