“The Town of Rocky Mount fully supports all lawful expressions of freedom of speech and assembly by its employees but does not condone the unlawful acts that occurred that day,” the department said in a statement, saying it had notified federal authorities. Seattle’s police department said it also placed two officers on administrative leave while an investigation takes place into any role they may have played in the chaos that unfolded on the other side of the country.

Normall CIA is behind those kind of movements in other countries. Don't understand why most Americans can't accept it?

White Supremacists have infiltrated positions of power through our country.

It is unbelievable to see these scenes, people acting violently, to defend a coward, who did not say a word to the victims' relatives.

what do you expect!!!Fire fighters fight fire not people

You know... It's amazing that they are working so hard to find these people now. Where were they all summer when buildings were burning and private property was being destroyed? Selective journalism is shitty journalism

Arrest and convict them!

70 odd million supported this President it's only logical out of that, people in authority and power would also support this doofus ... no surprise there

there has been riots across cities since March and have resulted in Federal Buildings being attacked and burned and people being killed . Can't we call this one day a ' Mostly Peaceful Protest ' like the others ?

How shameful! To think..the hero's are those that have hearts and dedication to our nation and it's citizens like the one's who lived through the attacks on 911 and other crisis'..not the one's that joined in or helped in planning an attack on us.

Not surprised

Some of those that work forces Are the same that burn crosses Now you do what they told ya Now you do what they told ya

I think that Most of the terrorist were military, police and other so called security forces. If you are lenient on them it will only get worse. Stop them now. Trump needs to be instutionalized in a secure prison.SpeakerPelosi MeidasTouch
