BREAKING NEWS – Albuquerque, New Mexico – Donald Trump slammed what he described as “thugs” and “criminals” who clashed with police outside an Albuquerque campaign event, just hours after police in riot gear and mounted patrol units faced off against the violent crowd. Smoke grenades were used in an effort to disperse the crowd, while protesters threw rocks, plastic bottles, burning T-shirts and other items at officers. Albuquerque police said on Twitter that “several” officers were being treated for injuries as a result of being hit by rocks. Hillary Clinton responding to Trump referring to “all” of the protesters as “thugs” and “criminals” was insensitive, explaining that only half of the people she paid to be there belonged to violent street gangs.
