Protestors clashed with police outside of the Democratic National headquarters as pro-Palestine groups flooded the front facility and violence erupted.
Officers have already made several arrests after 150 activists surged towards the Washington, DC, building on Wednesday night.
Protesters gathered to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, but the gathering quickly turned into chaos. Shocking footage from the scene shows police attempting to drag protesters away from the entrance to the DNC building as they chant 'let Gaza live.'

It sounds mostly peaceful. Any violence must have been caused by Trump supporters.

The DNC gets action when terrorists descend on their building.
The peoples' buildings and monuments in DC? Not so much.

Wait - weren't y'all just flying Ukrainian flags and calling for an all-out war on Russia a year ago? Suddenly war is bad again...?
C'mon - make up your minds and be consistent with your inconsistencies.

And no one will see jail time, much less solitary confinement. In fact, they’re probably already freed on their own recognizance

Since when did the Capitol Police become responsible for the security of the Democratic National Committee?

There was violence, must have been liberals.
Police should have stepped aside and let the thugs trash the place.

Wherever pro-Palestinian protestors gather, there is violence. But 290,000 pro-Israel marchers managed to gather peacefully without a single violent incident.

The pro-palestinian groups are only doing what they are paid to do. At least they targeted the real troublemakers this time instead of innocent Jewish students and Trump supporters.

Democrats, you reap what you sow. Surprised Dem. Rep Rashida Talib, AOC, and the rest of the Squad were not at the front of the mob. The feral mob is fueled by rhetoric by people like Talib. The anti Israel pro Hamas terrorist protesters/supporters are out of control and need to be crushed like Hamas.

Why do police have weapons? They looked like mall cops at best.

According to my local conservative talk radio/news station, www.wmal.com/Larry O'Connor show this morning, only ONE arrest was made last night. The Washington, DC Metropolitan Police described the event as a First Amendment event. Hmmm. Doubt the FBI will be pursuing any of the rioters.
BTW - The US Capitol Police (useless for a federal "law enforcement" agency) have jurisdiction over a large swath of the Capitol Hill area in DC, which includes the DNC and RNC Headquarters buildings. Speaking of the DNC, did the FBI ever identify who left the pipe bomb at DNC HQ last January 2021?

Things like this always make me wonder, why do American Jews overwhelmingly vote Democrat? Are you listening Streisand?

Sounds like an insurrection to me. Have those who were arrested been released yet?

The Demoncrat Media failed to lay the blame on the GOPeahens. Watch for media manipulators appealing to the insurrectionists to hit them...

Other than getting media attention there is no purpose to these idiots demanding a cease fire. The DNC certainly has no say in the matter and neither does Biden. Biden doesn’t dare call for it because Netanyahu would flip him the bird and it would be yet another issue to bludgeon him with during the campaign.

It must have been bad for the DNC to actually call the cops.

Your SUV gets hijacked, DC police are nowhere. Yet they make "dozens of arrests" at DNC.
