I don't know if "accused" is the right word to use. They absolutely gave zero fricks.

A demonstration outside the Turkish embassy in Washington, DC, turned violent Tuesday, after protesters holding Kurdish flags clashed with supporters and bodyguards of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was in town for a meeting at the White House.

videos from the confrontation quickly emerged on social media appearing to show Erdogan's security detail using force on protesters, even kicking multiple people in the face

Nine people were injured and taken to a local hospital during the incident.

I so wish some of our SJWs would go protest in a place like Turkey. The video would be epic!

That bodyguard should be jailed. I wonder if Donald saw the video.

Metal AF
Over there things are handled by sending a message to the next jerk off who's thinking about trying some bs.

Pretty sure he has. Right now he's sending it to all LE offices telling them that's how you do it

Meanwhile, SJW's in the US call local police "NAZI's" and other ridiculous things for putting up barricades and keeping public streets open.
It is a minor miracle that one of those Turkish guys didn't pull his pistol. That whole thing could have truly turned into an international nightmare if the Turks and the Metro cops started shooting each other.

I like the way they handle business.

The whole video of the incident is just surreal. Agents of a foreign power beating up protesters practicing their 1st Amendment rights in our nation's capital in the shadow of a statue of General Philip Sheridan.
I can't believe how little coverage this story received.

I agree, what gets me is none of the articles are saying what caused the brawl.

Good. The snowflakes need a good wake up call for how good we actually have it here
Posted on 5/18/17 at 10:17 am to DGauTigers
Too bad none of the Kurds were OCers. Would have been nice to see the Turks get some comeuppance.
I guess some forget the Kurds are our allies, in Iraq and Syria.

I wonder if they get diplomatic immunity

They do. Security personnel are accredited with the US State Department, travel on diplomatic passports and receive full immunity. That is why they are allowed to carry a concealed firearm when even US police officers from outside jurisdictions can't carry a firearm in DC.

Must be nice to be able to kick the shite out of people and the only thing that can happen to them is being expelled form the country

Damn at one point it was like three dudes kicking a woman on the ground.

Funny part is if a US Secret Service guy pulled this in another country, the locals would take him out for beer and a steak while patting him on the back with an eventual trip to the local brothel.
You could see how perplexed some of the security guys look when the police are stopping them. Most of the world really doesn't understand things like civil rights and excessive force.
