According to Lynch, he and “several women” were assaulted by police during the protest.
“I had words with one cop who hit me,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Lynch said the incident happened after protesters brought barricades to the White House.
“When they got to the White House they stacked the barricades. It was wild. The police came in. They demanded we move away from the fence. But nobody was doing anything wrong? It was peaceful. However they used force. I was literally right there the entire time,” he wrote, explaining that he was protecting a boy who was being trampled by the crowd.
He emphasized the veterans and the other protesters were not violent.

True. And some people sheer sheep, rape them, and kill them.
Beware of sheep farmers with oversized boots. Such are designed so the sheep can't get away.
Oh shit, I forgot Malcolm... despite dressing like a California hippie, you're actually from Texas. No wonder you're hiding in dark rooms clinging to your guns & cash. Well guess what brother? Out here in Los Angeles, we simply don't have time to cosign the 'fear-porn' you are trying to jam down our throats ;-) While small chunks of the country insist on staying 'stuck on stupid'... we're Evolving! Join the fun Malcolm, you're missing out. ~InLight555
ISN'T GOVERNOR BROWN CURRENTLY (and actually) CONSIDERING AN "exit fee" FOR ALL THE BUSINESSES AND CITIZENS LEAVING CALIFORNIA AT THIS TIME?
Here's what Sacramento's Walter Williams stated in the local Sacramento newspaper on Ocober 10, 2012:
He then speculates, tongue in cheek, about what sort of totalitarian measures a state government might take to prevent taxpayers from escaping.
You sound like you're on crack, just like Washington D.C.'s liberal mayor Marion Barry.
You get a grip dear. You are making a sweeping generalization that any vet who stormed the White House is a "tea party republican." Many of these vets (WHO SUBMITTED THE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS TO ALEX JONES) are constitutional libertarians like myself (AND ALEX JONES), and have no affiliation with the republican party WHATSOEVER.
You are also making an assumption that the barricades would be up if Ron Paul or Dennis Kuccinich were president. I honestly doubt that, since 1/3 to 1/2 of Washington D.C.'s prostitutes would be forced to take a hike and worry about getting a job requiring them to break a real sweat (like I and most Americans do), instead of screaming for the D.C. cops (a.k.a. whores) to protect them and their generous defined benefit pension plans that they earned for pushing buttons and moving paper A to Slot B.
And yes, this includes prostitutes in the Republican party. They are nothing more than a different flavor of Kool Aid with the same amount of cyanide in it.
Check out what the vets did with the "barrycades;"
RETURN TO SENDER
WHY DO YOU INSIST THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS?
I do not support Cruz, I do not support Palin. Both of these people support the Federal Reserve and Israel.
I AM A CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTARIAN, JUST LIKE RON PAUL, JUST LIKE HOWARD STERN, JUST LIKE JESSE VENTURA, JUST LIKE ALEX JONES, JUST LIKE MIKE RIVERA, AND JUST LIKE JOHN STADTMILLER.
The Democrats and Republicans are nothing more than two different flavors of Kool Aid with the same amount of cyanide in both.
This recent poll from Mike Rivera's whatreallyhappened.com says it all:
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE ECONOMIC RUIN OF THE NATION?
AVATAR AND STICK:
Nobody is paying me to do anything. I was a supporter of Ron Paul at one time, as was Ed Snowden. I'm still waiting for both of you claim the tea party paid off Ed Snowden, or that he is a traitor, or to call him a tea party "terrorist."
If a democrat or even a whig had a plan to get us out of the $17,000,000,000,000 financial mess we are in, I would vote for them in a heartbeat. Dennis Kuccinich was such a democrat, but he was not re-elected becaue he refused to "kick the national-debt can down the road to someone else," which is a requirement for re-election (like most of the prostitutes in the democrat party, as well as the RINOs (republican in name only) party).
It is no secret that the head of the IRS Lois Lerner got caught with her e-mails that she specifically targeted tea party groups for audits, and she pulled the 5th Amendment when asked who she received her orders from for such audits. Richard Nixon used the IRS to audit his "enemies," and this was deemed to be ILLEGAL. Hence, it is fair to say that your beloved Obama administration BROKE THE LAW, JUST LIKE NIXON.
Please note that Palin and Cruz (WHO I BOTH DO NOT CARE FOR DUE TO THEIR SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL) did not tell members of the Million Vet March to storm the White House. Hence, this march was a lot more than honoring the vets. It was about exposing tyrants and law breakers in the White House, who ordered the barricades. These weren't called "barrycades" for nothing.
~It would be amusing to watch the same 'fear porn' addicts here on ACC try to morph this relatively small protest through their own narrow beliefs, if it wasn't so pathetic. First & foremost, I work closely with Veterans on a regular basis & have several Vets in my family... including a member on full disability due to injuries incurred in war. I've spent a huge amount of time in the small city that is the VA here in Los Angeles & can assure everyone that Veterans make up an incredibly wide range of beliefs, political affiliations, race & ethnicity, gender & sexuality etc. Watching Malcolm trying to get traction off quotes like "next we'll hear Vets are racist" is just off the wall bizarre. Again, like the rest of the population, Veterans make up a myriad of perspectives... including full support of Obama. Despite the fear that Malcolm is trying to spin into his ultra conservative viewfinder... there are countless Vets who are not in line with how the 'Million Vet March' (only low thousands actually attended) was effectively co-opted by special interests. & for what it's worth... everything about the protest falls under the heading 'peaceful'... sorry to burst any fantasies. This includes the Police reaction & the way three foot barricades were gently placed in a neat pile. Of course Alex Jones isn't helping the matter by trying to spark small embers into flame... & despite many of his ultimately good works, Alex has spent the last year backflipping to the extreme right, essentially muddying his cause & core audience. By drumming up 'police brutality' (which simply did not occur), he & others are dishonoring incidents where it was actually despicably employed. & guess what ACC?... There are countless Vets that, had they actually been present at this small rally, would have booed & shut down Republican drones like Palin & Cruz. Stand strong Ashtar Massive... more will be revealed! The real Intent of the protest was not in vain! Here's a clearer perspective on how it unfolded... including the position of the organizers. ~InLight555
~The tea party, Sarah Palin, and Ted Cruz tried to hijack the Million Vet March for political and personal gain, and event organizers condemned them for politicizing the march. According to a message on their website the problem began when a local DC organizer turned the march into a tea party rally, “The political agenda put forth by a local organizer in Washington DC was not in alignment with our message. We feel disheartened that some would seek to hijack the narrative for political gain. The core principle is about all Americans honoring Veterans in a peaceful and apolitical manner.” In a post on their Facebook page, organizers went into more detail, It's truly shameful how the tea party want to exploit Vets while thousands of them have lost meals on wheels due to the shutdown and hundreds of thousands bettered themselves through the G.I. bill and depend on Veteran Care, both of which were introduced by Democrats and passed into law.
"It is our official position that the purpose of this march and the accompanying rallies is focused on the re-opening of the Veterans memorials and keeping them open. While we understand that a Constitutional republic requires the equilibrium of checks and balances to maintain the democratic process, the memorials, monuments and parks built in honor of Veterans should NEVER be closed, blocked or restricted from use. We take the official position that no government office holder shall have ability to abridge the freedom of access to these hallowed grounds. We have, as a group, been prevented from certain groups that have piggy-backed off our grassroots efforts, to effectively create a comprehensive media message campaign. We made the mistake of trying to partner with some Washington insiders that thwarted many of our genuine concerns for keeping this apolitical and grassroots. While we support many of those groups common causes for Veterans, we do not support the manner in which they go about it. We chose instead to not incite or create panic. We chose to listen to all Americans and all Veterans that have asked us to keep going on despite the disingenuous politicians, political action committees, talking heads on the televisions and press reports attempting to hijack the message. This included many threats of personal and political attacks on our group’s character, businesses, colleagues and our true intentions. While our hearts were heavy by the disheartening acts of a few powerful Washington elite and political extremists jumping on the opportunity to make money, we decided to stay true to our message of a non-partisan effort to assist Veterans."
Nice art of words Stick. Keep in mind that just as the Democrat party passed the G.I. Bill, they are currently the same party who recently removed government payments for funerals of vets who died in action with this shutdown. THIS IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO HONOR OUR VETS.
Note that members of BOTH parties are currently getting trashed at the Hawk & Dove (at taxpayer expense) as we type our nonsense. What a great way to earn a defined benefit pension plan, at taxpayer expense.
