We Are Change

 

Earlier today we reported the chaos that has broken out in Washington, DC during the inauguration. Luke Rudkowski is on the ground covering the situation as it unfolds. So far there have been a number of violent actions taken against Donald Trump supporters,  police, as well as destruction of property.

There was confrontation near the presidential parade route when rocks were thrown at the police.

Luke captured Blackbloc ideological protesters attacking the police. Police reacted by throwing flashbangs and shooting rubber bullets back at rioters.
Luke also reported that anarchists shattered windows.

There was a car set on fire in downtown, DC seen in a live periscope video.

So far 90 people have been arrested by police. Police have begun to kettle protesters and are pushing them back to take back the streets.

The National Guard has been deployed to assist with the protests.

There are also reports that protesters set a limo on fire at 13th and K street, writing “We The People” in spray paint. Other cars were also vandalized on K street as well.

The day started off peaceful and quickly escalated into violent protests, which are taking place all across DC now that President Donald Trump has assumed office.

Many are expecting the protest and potential riots to move towards bridges in DC as it gets later in the evening.

Stay tuned to We Are Change.

(THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY.)
