Turkish president’s bodyguards batter Washington DC protesters leaving them covered..

Two people were arrested as Erdogan and Trump attempted to improve relations between their countries.

The Turkish president stopped by the ambassador’s residence in the upscale Sheridan Circle neighbourhood, where protests prompted city officials to shut down nearby streets.

Yazidi Kurd demonstrator Lucy Usoyan told ABC: “All of the sudden they just ran towards us.
“Someone was beating me in the head non-stop, and I thought, ‘OK, I’m on the ground already, what is the purpose to beat me?'”
Washington police eventually sent reinforcements and restored order, but emergency services said nine people were taken to the hospital, one of them in critical condition.

Erdogan's thugs are beating up Americans. If this is what he does to Americans imagine what happens to his own citizens. I think the US should expel Erdogan and the ambassador.

Mr. President, thank you for visiting our country and joining us today at the White House. It is a great honor to have you with us. Thank you.

PRESIDENT ERDOGAN: (As interpreted.) Mr. President, my dear friend, distinguished members of the press, at the outset I'd like to whole-heartedly salute you all. And I would like to take all this opportunity to thank President Trump and his team for the generous hospitality they have shown us upon arrival, not only to my personal self but to the entire members of my delegation. On behalf of the entire Turkish nation, thank you, Mr. President.

And once again, in your presence, I would like to congratulate President Trump for the legendary triumph that he has garnered in the aftermath of the elections.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you.

PRESIDENT ERDOGAN: (As interpreted.) Quite recently, we've had bilateral discussions with President Trump, and we've had the opportunity to focus on the outstanding relations between Turkey and the United States that date back a long time in history, which are very well rooted and which have quite happily reached a level of strategic partnership.

President Donald Trump became the first Western leader to call Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to congratulate him on his victory in Sunday's referendum, a vote that grants the executive a major expansion of power even as it came under criticism from international monitors.

The result means Turkey is set to implement the most sweeping reforms of its government since the establishment of the republic in 1923. Among the changes sought by the referendum are the elimination of the prime minister position, putting the power to appoint the cabinet and some senior judges in the president's hands, reducing the power of the parliament to make laws and resetting the term limits, which could allow Erdogan to stay in office until 2029.

Our police forces can take a lesson on how to deal with these crybullies. Erdogan's team was on point and correct.
