And we still don't know exactly why the decision was made to expand the security perimeter around the White House.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Ronson View PostNo identified source. The "police" involved were riding horseback; so they weren't the Secret Service. Does Barr have authority to "order" around the local police department?

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostIt's what happened. CNN is a legitimate journalistic source. If you want to be shown to be wrong, keep playing the game I guess. Barr is just one of the Presidents minions. This is what Trump wanted regardless - he wanted to do his photo op. Gassing, flash-bangs, rubber bullest, it didn't matter what it took. Basically "Let them eat cake."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Master View PostThis stunt has hurt Trump significantly. If nothing happens to Barr and no mean tweets are incoming then that's a virtual confirmation. Trump isn't known to hold his tongue when embarrassed.
Longtime Donald Trump aide Hope Hicks has been identified as having helped hatch the plan to have the president walk across the street from the White House to pose in front of St. John's church – staged event that police and National Guard forces facilitated by using tear gas and rubber bullets to clear away peaceful protesters.
The move was conceived as a way to allow Trump to demonstrate his self-proclaimed role as the 'law and order president' and – came after the president vowed to use the military to restore order in cities across the country.
As a PR move it may have backfired, after global and national media broadcast images of shield-bearing and mounted police using force to clear Lafayette Park, an area whose use as a forum for demonstrations and speech has long been protected.
