WATCH: DOJ to investigate Turning Point USA protests at U.C. Berkeley

From PBS NewsHour.

The Justice Department says it will investigate security at U.C. Berkeley after protests outside a Turning Point USA event Monday night led to several arrests. Turning Point posted this video from the scene, comparing it to a war zone and claiming that an Antifa member lit a flare in the crowd.

Police made at least four arrests, though some of those were off campus. The head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division posted that her agency sees "several issues of serious concern regarding campus and local security." Monday’s Turning Point event was its last stop on a nationwide college tour following the group’s co-founder, Charlie Kirk, being killed in September.
