This is absolutely appalling!
Members of the Revolutionary Communists were protesting in front of the White House Thursday evening when one of them lit a US flag on fire and then threw it on a nearby Secret Service Officer.
Here are the photos taken and posted to Twitter by Marcus J. DiPaolo:

The Gateway Pundit reportedly received a statement about the status of the two Secret Service Officers injured saying,
At approximately 5:30 p.m. today US Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers responded to an incident that occurred on Pennsylvania Avenue involving an individual who was burning an American flag outside the limits of a permit that had been issued by the National Park Service.
Two individuals were arrested, one for felony assault on a police officer and malicious burning, the other for obstructing a police investigation and resisting arrest.
One individual was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries and the other was transported to MPD 2nd District for processing.
Two Officers with the Secret Service Uniformed Division received minor injuries while attempting to make arrests and were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Should burning the American Flag be an automatic felony?
