01:49 "Rioters reached the gates of the White House, possibly the most secure location on Earth. There, they chipped away at the barriers piece-by-piece while law enforcement struggled to respond."

05:44 "Asked specifically whether extremist groups were behind the violence, Lightfoot said the city is working in partnership with the FBI, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the ATF, particularly their bomb and arson units to determine that."

07:08 "The chaos of the protests makes verifying identities and motives exceedingly difficult. On Sunday, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers singled out umbrella groups including Antifa and Boogaloo."

11:52 "Members of the force, which opposes the redevelopment of the Alamo, were carrying long guns and military gear. A standoff between the groups ensued, eventually boiling over into a shoving match. Eventually, police in riot gear assembled at the site."

SUMMARY

In this episode of the National Police Association Podcast, Antifa tagged as leading an American insurgency together with the Black Lives Matter movement. In Chicago, "outsiders" are being blamed for the coordinated rioting and looting in the city as President Trump singles out Antifa.

And in San Antonio, what began as a peaceful march was marred with violence by a radical splinter group, eventually needing teargas and rubber bullets to disperse the increasingly agitated crowd.
