D.C. Mayor Bowser Blames Outside Agitators As Cause Of Weekend Violence
Some 70% of those arrested in weekend unrest came from outside the District, police say. Bowser says the U.S. attorney's office has failed to prosecute those who have been arrested in violence.
When it comes to the violence that has occurred in the streets of some American cities, authorities with different political bents are pointing to the same culprit: outside agitators.
Among them is Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, who said in a press conference Monday that violent encounters between police and protesters over the weekend were the result of people who came to the city prepared to battle police.
Bowser described, and the unrest that followed on Saturday and Sunday nights.
