WATCH: Protesters Surround Police Behind White House After Arrest; DC Protesters Organized via Zoom for Months
By Washington Examiner. Protesters on Tuesday surrounded Washington, D.C., police after they arrested a masked man behind the White House.
Police chased the man down the street before stopping him at an intersection. Protesters followed and confronted the officers who held the man down. Soon, a mob formed and police protected themselves with a ring of bicycles. Protesters began chanting at them as police attempted to push them backward.
As more protesters and onlookers rushed around the police, a helicopter circling overhead stopped and shined its light on the scene.

DC Protesters Organized via Zoom for Months
By Fox News. A collection of groups led by Black Lives Matter and Shutdown DC reportedly has been holding training sessions for demonstrators to protest on Election Day — and apparently, they’re planning a large-scale event across the street from the White House expected to draw thousands.
Several leaked documents and Zoom call recordings described a loose but coordinated network of activists seeking to mobilize around the country, especially if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden loses or if President Trump contests the election results. The materials purportedly showed plans to shut down federal buildings, including the White House, and to meet members of Congress at public transportation portals when they’re scheduled to reconvene in Washington after the election.
The apparent goal: to continue the civil unrest from Election Day until at least later this week — and potentially until the presidential inauguration in January. (Read more from “DC Protesters Organized via Zoom for Months” HERE)
