Two Journalists charged with rioting – The Guardian

 

Evan Engel of Vocativ and Alex Rubinstein of RT America were arrested on Friday morning outside a school at 12th and L Streets in downtown Washington, according to police reports. They were released on Saturday following initial court appearances. Both had preliminary hearings scheduled for mid-February.

More than 200 people were arrested on Friday after property was vandalized in the US capital in the hours around Trump’s swearing-in as president. Police said six officers received minor injuries.

Engel’s bosses on Monday issued a furious response to the action against their employee, who told them that he was swept up by officers despite repeatedly informing them that he was a journalist covering the unrest. Engel’s camera was seized by police.

“The arrest, detainment and rioting charge against journalist Evan Engel who was covering the protests for Vocativ are an affront to the First Amendment and journalistic freedom,” a spokesman for the site said in a statement. “Vocativ will vigorously contest this unfounded and outrageous charge.”

RT said in an online post that Rubinstein was arrested “even though he showed police his media credentials”.    MORE

Muhammad Ashraf, the president of the Virginia-based Nationwide Chauffeured Services, said Monday that replacing the car could cost tens of thousands of dollars. Insurance would cover vandalism but may not cover his situation because the car was damaged in a riot, he said.

More than 230 people were arrested after self-described anti-capitalists began breaking the windows of businesses, the limo and an emergency vehicle Friday, the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Court paperwork says the group did more than $100,000 in damage.

Ashraf said his family-owned business, based in Alexandria, Virginia, has a fleet of approximately 30 limousines, party buses and other vehicles and has been in business for 25 years. He called the limousine’s destruction “a very sad situation.” He said the limousine was one of two vehicles of that kind owned by the company and was in heavy demand around the inauguration.

Not having the vehicle means he’s losing business, he said.

“I just can’t imagine why people had to do these things,” he said.

Luis Villarroel, the car’s driver, said he had dropped off clients and was parked when he saw the protesters. He said about six people smashed the car’s windows with bricks, a piece of wood and, he believes, one or more hammers.    MORE

From Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry:

25 Charles County Sheriff’s officers, along with law enforcement officers from other agencies, were sworn in as Deputy U.S. Marshals to provide support during the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C. to ensure the security and safety of all who attend this event.

In addition to providing support in Washington, D.C. during the Inauguration, our Marine Unit will also help to patrol the Potomac River along with the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies.

The CCSO has assisted with the Presidential Inauguration many times throughout past administrations.

From The Washington Times:

DisruptJ20 protesters dismissed as a joke an undercover Project Veritas video showing activists supposedly planning to shut down Thursday night’s DeploraBall by setting off smoke bombs or the sprinkler system — but D.C. police weren’t buying it.

The 34-year-old man arrested Thursday night for conspiracy to commit assault at the event was among the activists featured in the undercover video released this week, according to court documents made public on Friday.

Scott Ryan Charney was one of the three men caught on camera discussing plans to set off fire alarms and spray Butyric acid — an ingredient commonly used in stink bombs — at the National Press Club, where the party for Donald Trump supporters was held Thursday night. In the Project Veritas video, Mr. Charney is identified as Scott Green, the documents state.

Project Veritas this week publicly released an undercover video taken Dec. 18 that shows three men associated with the D.C. Antifascist Coalition and DisruptJ20 group discussing plans to disrupt the DeploraBall.

After the release of the video, DisruptJ20 organizers said the activists in the undercover video figured out the Project Veritas investigator was a plant and “gave him false information about … what they felt was the most humorous red herring available: a false plot to use stink bombs at an event called the Deploraball with the so-called ‘Alt-Right.’”

Court documents state that police relied on the video turned over to investigators on Tuesday by the unidentified person.

D.C. MAYOR AND POLICE CHIEF CONDEMN OUT OF TOWN INSTIGATORS OF VIOLENCE

“We welcome visitors to our city. But we will not tolerate the destruction of our neighborhoods and we absolutely will not tolerate violence against our police officers,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said in an evening press briefing on Jan. 21st.

D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said the protesters threw rocks and bricks at police. Six D.C. police officers were injured during the altercations, including three who suffered minor head injuries from flying objects.

A group of about 400 to 500 people descended around Franklin Square about 10:30 a.m. Many of the protesters were armed with crowbars and hammers, which they used to break store windows and damaged vehicles. They set several small fires and scuffled with police as they were arrested, Newsham said.

He called it a coordinated attack by an organized group from outside D.C.

“We had thousands of people that came to Washington D.C. to peacefully demonstrate. Unfortunately, we had a small group that wanted to disrupt the inauguration,” Newsham said. “We have significant damage in a number of blocks in our city.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES POLICY STATEMENT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT ON FIRST DAY IN OFFICE

President Donald J. Trump taking the Oath of Office Jan. 20, 2017. screen shot from press pool coverage – THE CHESAPEAKE TODAY

SPECIAL FROM THE WHITE HOUSE:

Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community

One of the fundamental rights of every American is to live in a safe community. A Trump Administration will empower our law enforcement officers to do their jobs and keep our streets free of crime and violence. The Trump Administration will be a law and order administration. President Trump will honor our men and women in uniform and will support their mission of protecting the public. The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it.

The Trump Administration is committed to reducing violent crime. In 2015, homicides increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. There were thousands of shootings in Chicago last year alone.

Our country needs more law enforcement, more community engagement, and more effective policing.

Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter.

Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter. Our job is to make life more comfortable for parents who want their kids to be able to walk the streets safely. Or the senior citizen waiting for a bus. Or the young child walking home from school.

Supporting law enforcement means supporting our citizens’ ability to protect themselves. We will uphold Americans’ Second Amendment rights at every level of our judicial system.

President Trump is committed to building a border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. He is dedicated to enforcing our border laws, ending sanctuary cities, and stemming the tide of lawlessness associated with illegal immigration.

Supporting law enforcement also means deporting illegal aliens with violent criminal records who have remained within our borders.

It is the first duty of government to keep the innocent safe, and President Donald Trump will fight for the safety of every American, and especially those Americans who have not known safe neighborhoods for a very long time.
