Really?

US Park Police said using “tear gas” in a statement was a “mistake.” It just used the term again.

A US Park Police spokesperson said Friday in an interview it was a “mistake” to insist in a statement on Tuesday that the agency didn’t use tear gas the day before in a Washington, DC, park to disperse a crowd ahead of President Donald Trump’s photo op, explicitly noting that pepper balls shot by officials irritate the eyes and cause tears.

Got a source for your claim about protesters throwing rocks ets and that police found weapons in the bushes?

 

 

suggest you learn to read and understand english,try reading that link again, he says that they used smoke and the police did not wear masks as they were not using tear gas, try to underatnd what is being said, its simple, go to the bottom couple of paragraphs and read them slowly. Here is the bit about weapons: 

“At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids,” the USPP said in a statement. “The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.”

Still, the Park Police acknowledged using smoke canisters and pepper balls on the protesters.

So, first off, your claim about tear gas not being used was disavowed by the park police. Is that not the case?. And you're right, the park police did make those claims. But numerous videos taken during the removal, including this one, which is nearly 2 hours long, show absolutely no evidence of violence at the scene at all. To date, no one has produced a video showing otherwise.

Don't forget that the press, domestic and foreign, was present in abundance, and to one man they made it very clear that no violence was used by the protesters and that  the 'cleaners' used teargas. And yes, park police retracted their statement that no teargas was used. Now that may have been pepperspray in stead of CN or CS gas, but that really does not change the issue.

They need to  invoke the 25th amendment and let Pence keep the seat warm until November. They will not win the election but at least they can show the country they have the intestinal fortitude to act and fix up their mistakes.

 

What a ridiculous comment. Are you aware why the 25th Amendment exists? It is not to remove presidents because you disagree with their political viewpoints. That is what an election is for. It is there in the event a president is incapacitated, ie in a coma or something. This ridiculous notion that an opposition party can remove a president from power using the 25th Amendment because they claim he must be crazy to pass laws that they oppose, stems from the drivel the ignoramuses in the pro Dem media panels spew day in and day out. And of course they won't win the election without Trump, that is the whole reason why they want to remove him. People are not voting for the Republican Party so much as they are voting for Trump. If Trump ran as a Democrat he probably have won also.
