INSURRECTION: Leftist Mob Breaches US Capitol Barriers – Large Group Arrested Staging Sit-in Calling for “Military Off Our Streets”

A group of approximately 75 protesters were demonstrating peacefully at the Supreme Court, just across the street from the US Capitol, according to a statement from the Capitol Police. As the group was leaving the area, officers began establishing a perimeter of bike racks to keep the protesters away from the Capitol.

“A few people pushed the bike rack down and illegally crossed the police line while running towards the Rotunda Steps,” the Capitol Police said. “Our officers immediately blocked the group and began making arrests.”

Police said, “All will be charged with unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line. Additional charges for some will include assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.”

One law enforcement official told CNN the demonstrators were part of a veterans’ group protesting fascism. CNN has reached out to the group but has not heard back. It wasn’t immediately clear how many organizations were involved in the protest.

This comes as leftists plan to hold nearly 2,000 demonstrations in cities across the nation on Saturday, copying the ongoing riots in Los Angeles, California, where Trump has deployed the National Guard and Marines to stop the chaos.

The group that breached the Capitol perminiter are demanding the military be evacuated from U.S. streets.
