The crackdown before Trump's photo op. Wash. Post 12 minute video

There’s a 12 minute video including police radio communications. Very complete report.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/06/08/timeline-trump-church-photo-op/

Drawing on footage captured from dozens of cameras, as well as police radio communications and other records, The Washington Post reconstructed the events of this latest remarkable hour of Trump’s presidency, including of the roles of the agencies involved and the tactics and weaponry they used.

Watch the reconstruction above to see how it unfolded.

I have two guys on Facebook who I served with in the Cav. Both hard core rightwingers. I asked them
last week if they saw this or knew about it. We were watching it live.

One hadn’t heard of it. The other, after I provided proof that it did happen, said the “rioters” deserved it.

I’m still not sure if Fox News showed this or how much of it.

If they’d wanted to they could have moved the perimeter in the middle of the night or just slowly done it throughout the day. They did knowing people would be watching. I still don’t know how much (if any) was on Fox.
