But it was hard to tell since I had my video muted. It may have just been for blocking traffic. At the time Trump's motorcade had already moved off in a different direction.

That jail has had issues with transgender folks being assaulted there. Not sure the two protests are linked. NOT a good day in Pittsburg.

It looked like local law enforcement thought trumps motorcade was coming in that direction.

From watching it just looked like some sort of over reaction.
