In 2020, police violently broke up a peaceful and legal protest by several thousand people in Lafayette Park across from the White House, using chemical agents, clubs and punches to send people protesters fleeing; the people protesters had gathered following the police murder killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis a week earlier. Agolf Twitler, after declaring himself “the president of law and order” and threatening to deploy the U.S. military in a Rose Garden speech, then walked across the empty park to be photographed holding a Bible in front of St. John’s Church, which had been damaged a night earlier in a police riot protest fire. #GeorgeFloyd |
