President Trump made a visit to Sacramento today.
Air Force One just touched down at McClellan Park, just outside Sacramento. People have gathered in a parking lot just south of where President Trump landed moments ago. “He’s the greatest president of my life!” said one man, who said he used to live in Visalia. pic.twitter.com/n0z23tSuCg

He visited a site where Cal Fire keeps planes it uses to fight wildfires. He praised the work of 7 members of the National Guard.

Meanwhile, outside the event a handful of Trump supporters were camped out on a corner and a group of protesters showed up being their usual charming selves.

The Trump protesters were standing in the street and trying to stop traffic. The driver of the Volvo in this clip was later stopped by police.

At some point as they chanted “You can’t stop the revolution” they surrounded a police cruiser and one kid jumped on the hood.
This just happened at a protest in Sacramento today.

You can see the kid threw himself on the hood intentionally and started to climb forward as the car accelerated. Lots of people are concluding this is a case of “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” I get the frustration with the protesters who continually play these games with cars in the street but I’d bet the cop driving is going to be in trouble. It’s a shame he didn’t just stop the car, arrest the kid and throw him in the back. Here’s another angle:

This angle shows there was another kid leaning on the side of the car who also ended up on the pavement when the car pulled away:

After this incident, the protesters started attacking other cars:

The kid who went over the cruiser was taken away in an ambulance:
Another demonstrator hospitalized.
From our vantage point these injuries involve a CHP unit.
CHP car sped off and at least two demonstrators were injured.
This is the third vehicle that’s come into contact with demonstrators on foot that we’ve witnessed.
