DC police scuffled with anarchists trying to tear down the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Park very close to the White House. It was great to finally see pushback from the police after statues have been falling all over America with no resistance.
Anarchists have also reportedly set up an autonomous zone nearby called BHAZ aka “Black House Autonomous Zone.”
The videos below show the police officers forcing the mob back and stopping them from toppling the statue.

Tom Cotton spoke out about how it’s about time the DC Mayor let the police do their job:
It’s about time DC police showed up to stop the mob. If Muriel Bowser won’t allow the police to do their job, @realDonaldTrump should deploy federal law enforcement to protect this 168-year-old statue and every other landmark in our nation’s capital. https://t.co/J6RUDTEbYh
