Saturday's protest began peacefully as well, but it turned violent in the evening hours.

Just wandering…. Are we now treating the police force as the Jews were treated during the 1920s…. Sure looks the same in history to me
Do not wander.
No, but similar. More like how the Bolsheviks treated their fellow citizens. Gangs of kids rolling through cities setting fires and looting.
Ok the police officer was arrested , so the protesters now are protesting ? and PLEASE do not burn down my place of work, i have kids to feed.
RealityCheck says Antifa is a great liberal organization!
You’re not Anti-Facist?
ANTIFA will now be a Terrorist Organization!
Treat them as such.
Why will they be? Please explain.
Because they communicate, organize, and recruit through FB and Twitter. Once labeled, Mark and Jack will be ordered to remove them or face being branded a public utility and regulated by FCC, plus pay the taxes they never have. It’s not just Trumps game, Nancy wants them regulated, too
