An internal investigation has concluded that U.S. Park Police used unnecessary force in a confrontation with two Australian journalists three years ago during the George Floyd protests near the White House
. The confrontation with Brace and Myers took place amid that push to clear the area for Trump.
The report notes that as members of the Park Police's specialized Civil Disturbance Unit, both officers had received advanced training “which included using a shield and a baton to manage a crowd.” However it also acknowledges that the officers were operating in chaotic circumstances under murky guidelines — noting that “the USPP policy does not determine ‘minimum level of reasonable force,’ nor could we find other legal guidance shedding light on this term.
Park Police Chief Jessica Taylor said in a statement that she was reviewing the full report and that the matter would be referred to the Office of Professional Responsibility"to recommend any corrective actions, including disciplinary actions, if warranted.”This story was first published on May 24, 2023. It was updated on May 25, 2023, to correct the name of one of the journalists. The reporter’s name is Amelia Brace, not Amanda Brace.
