IT'S ALL KICKING OFF Violent protests erupt across America with 90 arrested in Washington DC after Trump sworn in as President
Supporters and furious protesters took to the streets for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump
VIOLENT clashes have
broken out across America with more than 90 arrested in Washington DC
as cops and protesters battled just blocks away from the presidential
parade.
Riot cops used pepper spray and stun grenades to break up crowds as
fights broke out, windows were smashed and fires lit in the streets as
Americans protested against the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

Shop windows were also smashed by masked protesters just hours before Trump was due to be inaugurated
Masked protesters were pictured across Washington DC before today’s inauguration ceremony, some armed with hammers and crowbars.
Confrontations began an hour before Trump took the oath of office and
escalated several hours later as the crowds swelled to more than 1,000,
some wearing gas masks and with arms chained together.
When some crossed police lines, taunting “put the pigs in the
ground,” police charged with batons and pepper spray, as well as stun
grenades.
The city appeared to have become a virtual war-zone and clashes continued throughout the day.
Just blocks away from Trump’s inaugural parade route another
chaotic confrontation saw pepper spray and stun grenades launched by
cops.
Dramatic scenes from the city’s streets today show the chaos as fires burn in streets scattered with broken glass.
