Three Years Later, No Justice For BLM Insurrection In D.C.

 "The Tuesday night incidents that stretched over hours are the latest confrontations to transpire near the White House, where protesters have been gathering daily for more than a month to protest for racial justice after the killing of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police," the Washington Post reported on July 8, 2020.

The] Treasury Annex building was vandalized; officers were assaulted with projectiles, such as bottles and bricks; and a brick struck a officer in the head, resulting in the officer's hospitalization.

USPP officers reported that some protesters threw projectiles, such as bricks, rocks, caustic liquids, frozen water bottles, glass bottles, lit flares, rental scooters, and fireworks, at law enforcement officials.

Overall, 49 USPP officers were injured during the protests from May 29 to May 31, including one who underwent surgery for his injuries.

On the evening of May 30, individuals at the protests threw projectiles at the officers and ultimately breached the first row of bike-rack fencing, thereby eliminating the buffer between the protesters and law enforcement officers.

Despite his claim his office is "Prosecuting a number of individuals in connection with the incidents of the summer of 2020," that simply does not appear to be the case, particularly since Graves further confirmed to Gosar that the office "Declined a number of arrests presented to it under the leadership of the prior administration."

Not only has Graves not charged any suspects involved in the 2020 riots under his watch, but his office also helped negotiate a settlement between the Justice Department and Lafayette Square rioters, who sued the government for violating their civil rights during what Graves called "Racial justice demonstrations in Lafayette Square." The settlement with Black Lives Matter D.C. required Park Police and Secret Service to update their policies to protect those who "Peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights."
