WASHINGTON—U.S. Park Police officers who forcibly cleared protesters from Lafayette Square near the White House last year were acting on a prior plan unrelated to the June 1 appearance there by then President Donald Trump, according to an Interior Department inspector general report., released Wednesday, found that officers were implementing a plan agreed upon days earlier to install fencing and protect officers, some of whom had been injured in ongoing conflicts with protesters. Mr.
The inspector general found that Park Police officers deployed pepper balls and stinger ball grenades, which dispel rubber pellets, after protesters attacked and threw objects at officers or didn’t comply with an order to disperse. Contrary to instructions from Park Police commanders, Metropolitan Police officers also fired tear gas at protesters as they moved away from the park and Bureau of Prison officials fired pepper spray, the inspector general found.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said officers deployed tear gas in response to assaults from protesters. The Bureau of Prisons didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Communication issues also led to confusion, the report found, as not all the protesters could hear officers’ orders to disperse. The Park Police and Secret Service also didn’t use a shared radio channel to communicate, according to the report.
Bullshit. IG is Trump appointee. Saying it was planned days ahead of time isn't a defense, it's evidence that Trump premeditated it.
President Trump was/is right about everything.
Another massive media lie fest. Welkom to Amerika.
A lot of fences were erected during the recent ex-president's tenure.

I’m sure everyone will apologize for being wrong. Or just say the DOI is lying. Yeah, that’s probably easier.
