RadioOnFire.com - Nearly 200 people were arrested by the evening of Friday, January 20, as pockets of violence and vandalism broke out during protests of Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington, D.C. While the grand majority of those who took to the streets raised signs and chanted as they peacefully exercised their rights to free speech and free assembly, groups of people in black clothing were videoed branching off to cause destruction to some of the city's businesses.
Footage showed masked individuals scattering away from riot police, some of whom carried objects to toss and strike with, as they went along shattering the windows of banks and fast food restaurants. Reports tell of authorities responding to flying rocks, bricks and chunks of concrete with flash grenades. At least three officers were treated for injuries and police vehicles were damaged before the saboteurs were forced westward from their Franklin Square rallying place.

Six protesters were able to make it through to the exclusive section of seating during Trump's swearing-in, and got to unveil shirts reading R-E-S-I-S-T before standing to disrupt the ceremony, but they were quickly drowned out by a "USA!" chant from the surrounding crowd.
