    Erdogan's bodyguards beat Kurdish protesters in the middle of Washington

    Erdogan visited Trump. Meanwhile security for the Turkish president could be seen on video Tuesday attacking protesters outside of the DC home of the Turkish ambassador.

    The protesters were pro kurdish, Armenian and anti-Erdogan.

    To answer your question, and assuming it was the Security detail that started the fight as the stories claim: Our country, our rules. If their first response to non-violent protesters is to hit them, then they can screw off.

    Watch the video there is a scuffle. Then it breaks up. Then the guys in black suits aka the bodyguards rush the protesters. Kick people on the floor in the head etc.

    Yeah, took a gander after I posted (You added it while I was in the middle of figuring out what to put down, it seems) and I'll stand by what I said about 'those guys can screw off'.

    So within a week of letting Russia humiliate and troll the US in our own god damn house, we then invite an authoritarian president to Washington and let his guards beat our citizens, completely disrespecting the laws of our country.

    Cool, glad this whole "America First" thing is going so well.

    I miss the days when the Republican party had actual patriots in it.

    I agree completely.

    Persona non grata.

    About all we can do unfortunately.
    I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
    He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
    I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.

    Diplomatic immunity tends not to apply in regards to violent crime anyway. They could definitely be arrested if we decided to move forward.

    If you insult Turks, or harbor Kurds who insult Turks, then you should be prepared for this.

    Damn, clearly see the security break that guys nose with the floor kicks. Doesn't even matter who started the fight at that point, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was security based on their manner, they become the aggressors either way.

    Wow unreal, so Turkish security are beating up Americans in America, and nothing is done. Talk about the 1st amendment beeing under attack, if you (yes you American who's reading this), had been present to protest for the kurds which is your right, you'd also be on the reciving end of this beating by foreign "guests".

    If you're a Kurd and insult Turkey, you're the aggressor.

    American Constitution and laws apply to all who reside in America. If the Turks can't understand that, they need to go back to their own country.

    Newsflash, Americans are made up of several different races and former nationalities, or did you think they are all Indians?

    And since when was insulting something the same as beeing aggressive? Trump is a tool, is that beeing aggressive?

    Is that why they let Gülen hide in America?
