Legendary, indeed. Just curious, was this after the 7 o'clock curfew was in effect or before? If it was before, had the protesters in Lafayette park become unruly so that's why they were spraying them with tear gas/pepper spray and firing rubber bullets to round them up or did they literally just start rounding up peaceful protesters so Trump could carry out this wonderful tribute to St. John's? I guess if they were told to leave and didn't that would be enough to justify the more forceful tactics of dispersion. The protesters/rioters probably intentionally didn't move in order to get this narrative pushed n the press as well.
