Possibly white Nationals? Great reportingFrom the article,Of course, the scum of all races will take advantage of the chaos of the riots. This has obviously been planned for a while. It’s a shame a noble cause, justice for George Floyd, has been hijacked.
"We also saw definite evidence that we believe white nationalist groups were here,"

Ahead of Trump Bible photo op, police forcibly expel priest from St. John's church near White House
The church appeared to be completely abandoned.
It was, in fact, abandoned, but not by choice: less than an hour before Trump's arrival, armored police used tear gas to clear hundreds of peaceful demonstrators from Lafayette Square park, which is across the street from the church.
Authorities also expelled at least one Episcopal priest and a seminarian from the church's patio.
“They turned holy ground into a battleground,” said the Rev. Gini Gerbasi.

With a possible hurricane bearing down on us, I was wondering if anybody knows of a good place to evacuate? We would prefer a nice town with low Covid-19 saturation and no riots scheduled for this weekend. Asking for a friend...

Extremists Are Using Facebook to Organize for Civil War Amid Coronavirus
Online extremists are using Facebook to plan and organize for a militant uprising in the United States as they cast coronavirus lockdowns as a sign of rising government suppression, according to a Tech Transparency Project investigation.
A review by TTP found 125 Facebook groups devoted to the “boogaloo,” the term that far-right extremists use to describe a coming civil war. More than 60% of the groups were created in the last three months, as Covid-19 quarantines took hold in the U.S., and they’ve attracted tens of thousands of members in the last 30 days.

Multiple GOP senators criticize Trump’s church stunt: ‘Don’t know what point the president was trying to make’
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) criticized Trump for going to the church for his photo op right as the curfew in Washington D.C. went into effect.
If he’d have gone out there yesterday morning rather than right before curfew, that would have been a non-issue,” he said. “The whole appearance at that time, right before curfew, I thought was wrong timing.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) similarly said he was confused by what the president was doing.
“I don’t know what the point the president was trying to make,” he said. “Trying to restore order is a good thing, attack on a church is a terrible thing. I don’t think it advanced the ball one way or another.”
And Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said he didn’t see the need to clear out peaceful protesters with teargas, while also saying he wished law enforcement officers would do “soul searching” when it comes to use of force.
I think you’ve gotta do better than that,” he said. “I think it was a peaceful protest.”

Archbishop hammers Trump’s ‘reprehensible’ Catholic shrine visit after ‘the use of tear gas’ to ‘silence’ and ‘intimidate’
I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree. Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.

US Park Police Say They Did NOT Fire Tear Gas At White House Protesters, Claim Demonstrators Were Attacking CopsOne out of three law enforcement agencies was quoted by an unnamed source that they didn’t use tear gas.

William Barr personally gave order to disperse protesters ahead of Trump photo op, DOJ confirms
The Attorney General of the United States personally issued an order for peaceful protesters to be moved ahead of President Donald Trump’s recent walk outside the White House grounds, a report said on Tuesday.
A Justice Department official confirmed to The Washington Post that Attorney General William Barr gave the order when he was seen outside the White House prior to the president’s walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church.
But on Monday, a White House spokesperson had denied that the protesters were moved to accommodate the president.
“The perimeter was expanded to help enforce the city’s 7 p.m. curfew in the same area where rioters attempted to burn down one of our nation’s most historic churches the night before,” Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told ABC News. “Protesters were given three warnings by the U.S. Park Police.”
