Protesters Clash with RNC Attendees in DC

Violent clashes erupted in Washington, D.C., between protesters and police after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Thursday night.

The protests started as a “noise demonstration and dance party" and seemed to intensify as the night continued. Videos emerged on social media that appeared to show city police clashing with protesters throughout city streets.

Protesters yelled and threw water bottles at police at the historic St. John's Church, which is near Black Lives Matter Plaza. Police made a string of arrests.

Black Lives Matter protesters harangued and harassed Republican National Convention guests as they left the White House Thursday night, according to a series of videos posted to social media.

Daily Caller reporter Phillip Nieto tweeted videos of some of the heated confrontations, including one involving two men who were surrounded by a masked mob who shouted, “Racists! racists!” while filming them with their phones.
