From NY Daily News-
The Secret Service finally admitted Saturday that it used pepper spray
to clear protesters from outside the White House so President Trump
could hold a photo op.
After nearly two weeks of adamant denials, the federal agency conceded that it did use chemicals to move peaceful protesters.
The statement added that the pepper spray was used “in response to an
assaultive (sic) individual” without offering any evidence to back up
the account.
Heavily armed federal personal from federal agencies violently cleared
peaceful racial justice protesters from the area around St. John’s
Episcopal Church.
Live TV footage showed troops firing rubber bullets and tear gas as
they charged into the crowd of several thousand demonstrators.
