Capitol Police arrest 60 parade protesters, including vet using a walker

U.S. Capitol Police arrested 60 people for unlawful demonstration Friday evening, the agency said.

A group of military veterans and their families gathered in front of the Supreme Court, demanding that taxpayer dollars for Saturday’s military parade and for putting troops in Los Angeles should be used for housing, health care and food, instead.

Some of those demonstrators crossed the street to the U.S. Capitol, where they are accused of breaching a bicycle rack perimeter. Some of them also may face charges of assault on police officers and resisting arrest.

Among those arrested was a Vietnam vet who was using a walker.
