Or to put it another way:

At most White House protests the police are irrelevant. If you’re protesting Obama’s health care bill or Trump’s inaction on climate change, you probably have little reason to interact with the cops doing crowd control. But when the issue is police brutality, the cops themselves suddenly become the targets of the protest.

The quote is from a Ryan Lizza article in Politico.

The scene of the Presidential crime was also a Square, this one named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a French ally in the Revolutionary War. It was sectioned off in Jefferson’s time.

According to The Daily’s piece on the story, the military is quite concerned about the way they’re being used, against civilians, and for what.

No additional comment from me today. The facts speak for themselves.
