Violent Protests in Albuquerque Against Trump

H/T Matt Drudge 

Communists, Bernie Sanders supporters, and what appear to be Mexican nationals waving the Mexican flag, protested violently last night against Donald Trump. They stomped on police cars, set fires, threw rocks, injured police men, and even attacked someone in a wheel chair. 

From Info Wars: 

Police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are downplaying a violent protest at a Donald Trump event last night. Despite rock and bottles thrown at police horses, arson, and property damage at the convention where the presumptive presidential candidate spoke, few arrests were reported. Several police were injured by the rampaging protesters.
Reports of gunfire during the riot were downplayed by Albuquerque police:

The Last Refuge blog points out that many of the troublemakers were with PSL, short for “Party for Socialism and Liberation,” and “The Red Nation,” both communist. According to media reports, other protesters were Bernie Sanders supporters. Demonstrators also waved Mexican flags.

It's standard operating procedure for police to downplay violence even despite the presence of lots of evidence. See the InfoWars link for some videos of the events last night.

Here's the report on the fellow in the wheelchair who was attacked.
