The situation on DC’s Swann St is fucking insane. Police trapped marchers after curfew and wouldn’t let them go home so one owne let like 70 them inside. Now a stand off. Police making them hostages, trying to force and scheme entry into private homes to arrest them. Ongoing… https://t.co/lLA2MSpf2g

MPD promised that no one would get arrested if they ordered food for the hungry protesters trapped inside but now cops are refusing to let the driver deliver the food.

.@GovPritzker goes in on Trump: "The man is a racist, a misogynist, a homophobe, a xenophobe. He's got to go … it's clear that he doesn't listen to anyone who tells him the truth … this inflammatory rhetoric is bad for the country … [he] knows no history." pic.twitter.com/4iVW1gcqbc

CNN now reporting that the “special place” Donald Trump was referring to is St. John’s Episcopal Church, where he will apparently have a photo op.

President Trump has largely remained out of view in recent days, watching images like this from the residence of the White House. Tonight, he is staging a photo op here — at St John’s, the church of the presidents where he has only been a handful of times. (I took this Saturday.) pic.twitter.com/8yMELKVXAg

7:00 PM: CNN commentator:
Trump ordered the U.S. military to attack U.S. citizens just so he could orchestrate a photo-op at St. John's Church across from the White House. This is right out of Joseph Goebbels Nazi Propaganda handbook.
— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) June 1, 2020
6:55 PM: They cleared out the protesters so Trump can get a photo-op at St. John’s Church. Media saying Trump admin gassed peaceful protesters for photo.
As Trump prepares to leave the White House for St. John's Church, a reminder: he appears to have just ordered the gasing of peaceful American protesters in order to stage a photo op.

6:53 PM: CNN’s Don Lemon thinks “we are teetering on a dictatorship.” He says Trump is “playing a very dangerous game” and predicts “this will backfire” because people think they are being “occupied by their own police departments.”

6:45 PM: Trump says his “first and highest duty is to defend our great country and the American people.” He says George Floyd will not have died in vain. He talks about small business owners who have lost their businesses and were beaten. Churches burning. Cops of color who were attacked.
“I am your president of law and order and an ally to all peaceful protesters."
