Rioters Surrounded Senator Rand Paul Then Threw A Police Officer Who Intervened To The Ground Following The Closing Of The Republican National Convention
Senator Rand Paul was the victim of a would-be assault following his departure from the Republican National Convention. Rioters encircled Paul and his wife, Kelly Paul, and began shouting obscenities. Paul and his police escort managed to find a path through the crowd but were briefly held up when an officer using a bike as a barricade was pushed down by the mob.
The emboldened street criminals have become so confident in their uprising that they’ve begun starting street fights with officers (see below).
Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.
