Long line of cop cars in D.C. heading toward the Capitol.
Police line near the Capitol grounds.
Scene near the Capitol.
Police line.
Police sending out a warning about the curfew and appear to be preparing to clear the crowd from near the Capitol.
Police pushed back much of the crowd, then circled much of the crowd that remained, possibly to arrest them.
As one guy ran off he kept yelling at the cops: “Next time we come back with rifles. That is not an idle threat.”
BTW it was tough for me to tell how many ppl ended up getting arrested b/c after I negotiated my way out of the police circle (curfew doesn’t apply to press) we were pushed back. If I had to estimate maybe a dozen or two. An officer would only say it was a “large group” arrested.
