PHOENIX — The police used tear gas to disperse crowds numbering in the thousands on Tuesday night outside the Phoenix Convention Center as tempers flared around President Trump’s divisive speech at a campaign-style rally here.



Jeri L. Williams, the chief of the Phoenix Police Department, said at a news conference late Tuesday night that officers were attacked with bottles, rocks, and tear gas, and that two officers were being treated for heat exhaustion at a hospital.

She disputed the suggestion that officers were overly aggressive, saying they responded with tear gas and so-called pepper balls, which emit pepper spray, only after they were assaulted.

But some witnesses said that events unfolded differently, with protesters throwing a water bottle or two in the direction of the police, before the police fired tear gas into the crowd.

1. Where is the video of the protesters doing this?

I dont want to see video of the black shirted anarchists, they are not protesters.


BTW, the appropriate response to fascism and Nazi's, is whatever it takes to defeat them

2. Arizona is starting to turn blue

A lot left California thinking it was the people around them that were the problem. They are now finding out its the system they are living in that is actually the problem
