Protest To Dc News Today

And the incredible restraint i was talking to about. someone that used to be one of us now is insecurity and here he says he has never seen the restraint of the police. you saw a roman candle being fired, some rocks, eggs and bottles going across but clearly the message from the police is that it is time for them to go home and yet protesters remain out here as a little bit of rain continues to fall. jon: and the rain seems to have dampened enthusiasm on both sides for the protest and counter pr...

Rally. everyone trying to drown them out. >> this unite the right movement. they wanted to replay their rally, if you will in charlottesville virginia, the site of last years violence. but they were not given a permit this year. that is why they moved it to washington d.c.. right? >> right. and again, they had the event but it was very lightly attended. and again, if there are multiple thousands of protesters here, there are dozens if not i 100 protesters for every person who showed up for the u...
