VIDEO: Tuesday Trump Rally Turns Tense as MAGA Berates Law Enforcement
The deteriorating situation at Black Lives Matter Plaza had many pro-Trump demonstrators furious with law enforcement.
Washington DC, the nation’s capital, is about to bear witness to something spectacular – no matter which way things go under the dome of the Capitol.

There’s signage throughout the downtown area explaining that all firearms are prohibited within 1,000 feet of the signs.
One of the more intense moments from the demonstration came as protesters berated DC police for not allowing them to enter Black Lives Matter Plaza.
