After BHAZ
Protesters tried to establish an autonomous zone between the White House and St John’s Episcopal Church on Monday. Law enforcement pushed the demonstrators out of Lafayette Park using pepper spray, quickly shutting down the ‘Black House Autonomous Zone’ and establishing a perimeter much farther away from the White House. The protesters also attempted to topple a statue of Andrew Jackson.By the next morning, law enforcement had set up a perimeter such that it was impossible to venture within a quarter mile of the White House from any direction. https://twitter.com/BenZeisloft/status/1275458551985483776?s=20 The police line in the middle of the newly dubbed Black Lives Matter Plaza was rather calm.
