The County Board issued a statement Monday night saying its officers were used “for a purpose not worthy of our mutual aid obligations.”
The president said he would deploy the United States Army if governors failed to use the National Guard more forcefully amid protests.ARLINGTON, Va. -- Arlington County, Virginia, pulled its officers out of the District of Columbia Monday night after they played a supporting role in clearing protesters from a park outside the White House so the president could walk to a church for a photo opportunity.
County Board Chair Libby Garvey said on Twitter she's “appalled" that the mutual aid agreement was abused “for a photo op.” With Lafayette Park under federal control, it could serve as an example of the aggressive moves Trump said should be taken to deal with demonstrations nationwide that have veered from peaceful to violent.
