Possible that the people we see in the video are not the ones who assaulted the cops. But something reminds me of the Summer of Love.

Silly boy.

These protesters were on the side of the Compassionate and the Just.

You know, Democrats.

At least 8 people arrested at the anti-Israel rally face federal charges; local prosecutors dropped misdemeanors against others

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., has charged Frederick Coates, Crow Momamome and Antonio Somerville with attempting to carry a dangerous weapon. Zachary Kam was charged with two counts of assault on a police officer. Nathaniel Lawrence, Sonia Krishan and Roger Miller face charges of attempted theft. And Essa Ejelat has been charged with threats related to the protest.

There were also numerous people arrested Wednesday who will not face charges at this stage of the investigation. The D.C. attorney general’s office was presented with 11 cases that were "no-papered," meaning the charges were dropped. Three of those charges were for crossing police tape, five for "disorderly conduct – inciting violence" and three for "disorderly conduct – causing unreasonable fear," all misdemeanors.

Additionally, there are five pending citation cases for "crowding, obstructing or incommoding" for which prosecutors have not yet decided on charges.
