Did the Turkish President’s Security Detail Attack Protesters in Washington? What the Video Shows

By MALACHY BROWNE, CHRIS CIRILLO, TROY GRIGGS, JOSH KELLER and NATALIE RENEAU MAY 26, 2017

The New York Times reviewed videos and photos to track the actions of 24 men, including armed members of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail, who attacked protesters in Washington last week. Many of the protesters were American citizens. The men kicked people lying on the ground and put a woman in a chokehold just a mile from the White House. They outnumbered the protesters nearly two to one. The State Department has condemned the episode, and some American lawmakers have called for the men to be prosecuted. But none have been charged with a crime. Here’s what video of the main actors shows about the identities of the men and the roles they played in the clash.

Interactive page with pictures and videos showing that the large security detail of Turkish president Erdogan violently assaulted protesters in Washington D.C. in broad daylight on 17 May 2017. Nine protesters required hospitalization.

The Trump White House has been silent on the incident. The confrontation came as Mr. Trump welcomed Turkish president Erdogan to the White House on Tuesday and praised him as a stalwart ally in the battle with Islamic extremism. Mr. Trump did not mention Mr. Erdogan's authoritarian crackdown on his own people.

Do you think it should be declared an act of undeclared war?

Surely the only rational thing to do in this situation is to overthrow the Turkish government and then let Terrorists take over. Isn't that the liberal solution to every government in the M.E.?

According to Sibel Edmonds, and I believe her, the federal government is somewhat controlled by Turkish influence. So if some Turkish goons go to ass kicking while in the US, the law will look the other way.

Which members of antifa had diplomatic immunity when that took place?

Do the "Turkish goons" have diplomatic status?

As security detail for a visiting President, more than likely. :(

A good start would be kicking out the ambassador of Turkey for this attack on US citizens.

Sufficient diplomatic status, it appears from this incident, to leave the country without being questioned or detained. If one is travelling with the HNIC of Turkey, apparently one has sufficient status.
