With President-elect Donald J. Trump moments away from taking the oath of office, anti-Trump protesters have taken to the streets, as they said they would—creating havoc, vandalizing businesses, and assaulting law enforcement. The BBC, who commented that they have never seen something like this at an inauguration, captured the mayhem, with anchors noting, “it looks organized and it looks deliberately violent.”
The video also shows police deploying what appears to be pepper spray on the protesters.
