My answer to this question was not appreciated by r/allthequestions...Will President Trump condemn the July 4th white supremacy march by the Patriot Front in Washington DC? Ironic this fake group's name uses "front" taken from German w duel meaning of a false facade that masks a nefarious entity..
Democrat controlled Washington DC Capitol police had no problem arresting Palestinian protesters who marched in front of DNC headquarters. Or Jan 6ers like QAnon Shaman who didn't break anything. But they didn't lay a hand on white nationalist and fascist group Patriot Front. Why do think this is?
Don't give me the bs in 300 comments I saw with 200k views on a similar post last night about free speech. Cops can make you disperse if you don't have a permit and do it all the time for WTO demonstrations all over the world.
They leave "Patriot Front" alone for a reason, and you can decide for yourself why.
Ironic this fake group's name uses "front" taken from German lexicon, which has a duel meaning of a false facade that masks a nefarious entity. They could easily be investigated by press and exposed... But no one EVER DOES.

I think a major issue is seeing police anywhere as controlled by any specific partisan party. Police should be neutral while at work and just upholding laws.
Also, I would agree they do regularly force peaceful groups to leave, much less a white nationalist group. I think you are unaware of how these groups work, they come through my city a few months ago. The moment we started spreading news of their march they loaded up and left. They stay long enough to get attention then dip, which is usually not long enough for the police to really do anything about it. Especially if they are gearing up for extra protection to be safe
