Vambo Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 'ANARCHY' IN ARIZONA 'Rioting' Roe demonstrators 'shook' state Senate in chaos, forcing cops to use gas The Arizona Department of Public Safety said in a Saturday afternoon statement that protesters attempted to "breach the doors of the Arizona Senate and force their way into the building" on Friday night, following the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade. The statement says that an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 people came to the Arizona State Capitol Complex in Phoenix, Arizona following the Supreme Court decision. As the night went on, what began as "peaceful protest" eventually "evolved into anarchical and criminal actions by masses of splinter groups," and people attempted to enter the Arizona Senate. "As groups realized the state legislature was in session, they attempted to breach the doors of the Arizona Senate and force their way into the building. The violence of their efforts literally shook the building and terrified citizens and law makers who occupied the building. As the glass doors bowed from attempts of forced entry, the occupants of the building were instructed to move to secure locations," the Arizona Department of Public Safety said. Arizona State Troopers then deployed "field force teams and tear gas" due to the threat presented by the protesters. Officers exercised "patience and application of tactics" with protesters at Wesley Bolin Plaza, in front of the Arizona State Capitol, but after "multiple warnings" moved to use tear gas and cleared the plaza. The statement added that after the plaza was cleared, "additional state buildings" were damaged. One monument vandalized reads "abort the court."
