Recently, reports of peaceful protests being hijacked by anarchists, white supremacists, antifa, and even drug cartels began to show the dire situation of these agents of chaos making war in our cities. But things only seem to be getting worse, as gunfire, brick throwing, and attacks on the White House turn already violent riots even more violent.
As the Associated Press reports, 5,600 people have been arrested as of today. Previously, the number stood at 4,100, meaning ARRESTS BALLOONED UPWARD 39% in just one night. But it gets worse. . .
Missouri's WCSC reports that 4 officers were shot:
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Police say four officers were hit by gunfire after protests in St. Louis that started peacefully Monday became violent overnight, with demonstrators smashing windows and stealing items from businesses and fires burning in the downtown area.The police department tweeted early Tuesday that the officers were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening. It was unclear who had fired the shots.The chaos in St. Louis followed continued protests Monday in Missouri over the death of George Floyd and police treatment of African Americans, with gatherings also held in Kansas City and Jefferson City
Ignore the little quip about it being "unclear" who had fired the shots because the original tweet was very clear:
We have had 4 officers struck by gunfire tonight. All have been transported to an area hospital. All are conscious and breathing. Their injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.

It's official at this point. The cities of our country have turned into war zones. People are dying because extremist groups are out there raising hell. We know they're being paid to do it.
I mean, shoot, here's one of these rioters taking about it candidly with a local media crew:

But this is just the start. Police One reported that The SECRET SERVICE was ATTACKED BY RIOTERS with MOLOTOV COCKTAILS. These aren't the same legal, peaceful protesters who were teargassed earlier. These were separate, violent insurrectionists with the goal of attacking President Trump and raising hell.
More than 50 Secret Service agents were injured, fires set by rioters blazed near the White House and authorities were searching for car bombs late Sunday as protests over the death of George Floyd continued to roil the capital just two days after President Trump had to be taken to a bunker for his safety.A senior official in the direct chain of command for defending Washington D.C. told Fox News of the injuries to Secret Service agents, some of whom were hurt by rioters throwing bottles and Molotov cocktails in Lafayette Park, just across from the presidential residence.
U.S. Marshals and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents were deployed to the streets of D.C. in an extraordinary move to beef up security alongside local police and Homeland Security agents, including the Secret Service, the Justice Department confirmed late Sunday. Fox News has learned U.S. Attorney for D.C. Mike Sherwin is heavily involved in the operation.
There have also been reports of piles of bricks just sitting out in the middle of sidewalks. As The Sun reports:
Demonstrators who took to the streets to protest police brutality used against Floyd reported finding stashes of unattended piles of bricks in areas of planned protest with no apparent use for construction.The reports were backed up by police in Kansas City, Mo., who tweeted Sunday that they discovered stashes of bricks and rocks "to be used during a riot.""We have learned of & discovered stashes of bricks and rocks in & around the Plaza and Westport to be used during a riot," the Kansas City Police Department tweeted shortly before 10pm.
You can view a video of these bricks and rioters picking them up for yourself in the article.
This is war. If you look at every single one of these protests. They all started out peacefully. But think for a second. Do peaceful protesters carry Molotov Cocktails? Do peaceful protesters open fire on police? Do peaceful protesters carry bricks and throw stuff at people? Of course not. This is because these peaceful protests are HIJACKED by insurrection groups. As William Barr stated:
Unfortunately, with the rioting that is occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices of peaceful protest are being hijacked by violent radical elements.Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda.In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchistic and far left extremists, using Antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from out of state to promote the violence.
If you plan on protesting, do it during the day. Alert the police ahead of time. Tell them you're going to have a PEACEFUL PROTEST. The attacks and the insurrections seem to be happening at night. Protest during the day. Be smart. Don't let Antifa or neo-nazis or state militias hijack your protest. Hold it when they won't strike and therefore ensure your voice is heard without killing someone else's.
