Caption | Police tried pushing back patriots off the monument because they said they were going to open for ticketed people and needed room for a line. No one was out there with a ticket. While removing patriots from the site, one officer pushed a patriot in the mud and arrested him for opening a temporary barrier to leave with his wife. At the time of arrest, patriots got pissed and pushed the police force (about 10 or 15) of them back to the base of the monument. After congregating for some time patriots along with some suspected Antifa started banging, kicking, and beating the glass with sticks. That's when I bounced and went back to the rally. |
