Trouble now at Black Lives Matter Plaza Washington Post
As pro-Trump protesters began to wander away from the Capitol, some showed up at Black Lives Matter Plaza, where a brawl erupted with anti-Trump protesters involving pepper spray and at least one Taser.
The scuffle near the plaza started about 5:30 p.m. and involved about two dozen people. After the fight played out for several minutes, including on local live television, D.C. police officers on bikes broke up the fighting. Protesters on both sides threw punches and pepper-sprayed each other, and an anti-Trump fighter could be seen using a Taser.
When D.C. officers arrived, they tackled brawlers and no injuries or arrests were immediately seen.
