re: Turkish President's Bodyguards Accused of Violently Clashing With Protesters in DC

Per an article on Fox News (CNN doesn't even show this on their front page):

quote:

---

Turkey's official Anadolu news agency labeled the protesters Kurdish "supporters of terror." It said they chanted anti-Erdogan slogans, and that Erdogan's team moved in to disperse them because "police did not heed to Turkish demands to intervene."

---

So it sounds like the security detail weren't pleased with what the protesters were shouting / chanting and asked the police to get them to stop. Police said they can't, so they just went past the police and took care of the protesters on their own.

I can't believe this is not getting more news coverage, honestly.

thats a little bit of over kill to start a war over a few nationalists fighting.

You mean like the illegal aliens in Cali, Washington state, Chicago, NYC beating up Trump supporters and just general conservatives?

who are peacefully practicing such a cherished US right and tradition is not something I'm ok with. If you are, you need to seriously reconsider your rights and responsibilities as a US citizen.

The Turks were just holding a peaceful counter protest like they have seen widely covered in the aforementioned areas. Media bias, it's all Trump's fault! Muh Russians tampering with Constitutional freedoms!

Seriously though. If foreign nationals, whether Turkish or from south of the Mexican Border, are allowed to beat on those exercising the right to peacefully assemble, they need to be forcefully dealt with and removed from within our borders on the spot. Cannot allow Spanish/Portuguese language be the determinant of whether it is allowable.

you dont know if they were being peaceful before the cameras started rolling.

Very true. However, the video clearly shows security forces attacking people who were peaceful at the time the attack was filmed. Even if they were violent before the camera recorded, they were not violent when the camera was recording.

Several in the security detail are shown running back across the street to attack protestors after police sent the to the other side of the street to end the altercation. There is no obvious reason for that action.

Disgusting. They should have all been arrested and prosecuted. Allowing foreign officials to beat people on US streets should be ok, though, because self-serving politicians & individuals didn't enforce the law before? Are you saying you agree with the way the violent attacks were handled by police & politicians in those incidents.

the retaliation is usually after the instigation is over. thats how it works.

I'm NOT saying that at all.

Equal treatment under the laws of the state, region, locale, and Nation. If anyone regardless of sex, creed, color, religion, or national origin is violating, especially violently, the rights of another within the USA, take them by the collar and belt and toss them out of country on the spot. I don't even care if the foreigner lands on dry ground or water, just forcefully remove them then and there.
