Many protesters who wanted to disrupt the inauguration of President Donald Trump and smashed cars have been arrested.
The anti-trump protesters were arrested yesterday
Ninety-five people were arrested as protesters clashed with riot
police in Washington D.C after Donald Trump was sworn in as the new U.S.
President Friday.
Xinhua quoted Washington D.C. police saying that 95 people were
arrested as of 2 p.m. local time after they smashed windows, damaged
cars and threw rocks at police in a new wave of violence that erupted
near the White House, right after end of the swearing-in ceremony held
at the Capitol Hill.
Police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse the protesters
who hurled objects, including bottles and rocks, at them near the 12th
and K streets, only blocks away from the White House.
The police said in a statement that some protesters acted in a
concerted effort engaged in acts of vandalism and several instances of
destruction of property.
Two police officers were sent to hospital after they were injured
during the clash. But their injuries were not life-threatening.
Earlier, protesters smashed windows of stores and cars in
Washington on Friday just before Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th
U.S. President.
One hour ahead of the swearing-in ceremony, about 500 anti-Trump
protesters, many of whom were black-clad, marched through streets near
the White House in downtown Washington, holding banners such as “No
Hate, No Place” and “Make Racists Afraid Again.”
Police in riot gear used stun grenades and pepper spray to disperse
the protesters after they smashed windows of a local Bank of America
branch, a Starbucks store, a McDonald restaurant and some cars by
throwing stones, media reports said.
Earlier in the morning, many protesters tried to block several
entrances into the Inaugural Parade route on the Pennsylvania Avenue, as
many Trump supporters waited for checking in.
But most of the protests across the capital city, organized by
anti-Trump groups including the Disrupt J20, the ANSWER Coalition and
Black Lives Matter, were peaceful amid heavy security.
Massive security was imposed in downtown Washington Friday as many
streets around the White House and Capitol Hill were blocked, creating a
heavily fortified security zone.
As many as 28,000 security officials, including some 7,800 National
Guard troops, were deployed to guard the checkpoints and the Parade
Route.
Trump’s swearing-in ceremony was attended by about 900,000 people, a much smaller crowd than expected.
Trump, an outspoken New York billionaire and former TV
entertainment celebrity, stunned the world by winning the presidential
election in November, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton.
Trump, an outsider that has no political experience, won strong
support from many white working-class voters, by vowing to shake up a
political system that many Americans blame for failing them.
But the brash billionaire has widely been criticized for making divisive and controversial remarks during his campaign.
Trump is the least popular U.S. President-elect in modern history,
with only 40 percent favourable ratings among Americans, according to a
recent ABC/The Washington Post poll.
