G-20 Protests Turn Violent as Trump Arrives in Hamburg
Violent clashes broke outnear the site of the
G-20 Summit Thursday as German riot police confronted thousands of
protesters demonstrating amid the arrival of President Donald Trump.
In a protest that some called "Welcome to
Hell," upwards of 10,000 people belonging to an array of anti-Trump and
anti-capitalist groups — many wearing masks — attacked authorities, set
fires, hurled rocks at officers and buildings, chanted slogans and
touted angry banners as part of their efforts to disrupt the global
conference set to kick off just miles away.
German riot police, in turn, attempted to disperse the protesters with tear gas, smoke bombs and water cannons.
