As for the DC rally and counterprotest, the police chief there told the press that only one person was arrested.
Police essentially shielded the 20 or so white nationalist demonstrators from several thousand counterprotesters.
Police Chief Peter Newsham called it “a well-executed plan to safeguard people and property while allowing citizens to express their First Amendment rights.”
Police also had a tense standoff with about 150 masked antifa protesters who marched through the area blocking traffic after the white nationalists left.
No use of force or tear gas was reportedly required or invoked.
