Protesters or agitators: Who is driving chaos at L.A. demonstrations?

On Sunday evening, the crowded, terrible -faced police officers near the Los Angeles City Hall reached an restless detetente.

The Lapd officers hired the “less deadly” rebellion that fired the red welts and the foam tours that left ugly bruises to everyone they hit. The demonstrators were locked in the city center of Los Angeles for the third flat day. Some were there to protest the federal migration scans in the district – others began to cause destruction.

A few young men passed through the crowd, hunchback, and hid something in their hands. They reached the façade and threw eggs to the officers who fired the crowd escaped with rebellion weapons.

Jonas March, who filmed the protests as an independent journalist, fell to the ground and tried to be army.

The 21 -year -old said, “He stands up and stands up, they hit me in A.

Police Chief Jim McDonnell made a distinction between protesters and masked “anarchists ve, and bends to exploit the unrest to destroy the property and attack the police.

“When I look at the violent people, the people we see here a day are not the people who use their right to legitimate.” “These are all hooded people – there is a hooded, they have face masks.”

“They always do it,” he said. “They are moving away from everything that is possible. Using the same or similar tactics frequently, go to another from a civil unrest. And they are connected.”

Violence and widespread goods damage in the protests in LA city center have removed the public from the focus of demonstrations-large-scale migration scans such as Paramount, Huntington Park and Whittier.

McDonnell said that some agitators broke the hammer and ash blocks to create bullets to jump to the police, and others threw the “commercial class fireworks” to civil servants.

“This can kill you,” he said.

LAPD arrested 50 people at the weekend. Captain Raul Jovel, who controls the reaction of the Ministry to the protests, said that the arrested contains a motorcycle and a man accused of entering another suspect allegedly thrown a Molotov cocktail.

McDonnell said that inspectors will examine video from the police body cameras and images published on social media to describe more suspects.

“The number of arrests we make will be pale compared to the number of arrests to be made,” he said.

Los Angeles City lawyer and representatives of the Los Angeles District Prosecutor’s Office could not immediately say whether any case was reviewed for the case. Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman, “the slag blocks throwing, light vehicles on fire, destroying properties and attacking the attack on the law enforcement officers,” he said.

On Sunday, LAPD responded to a chaotic scene that began when they went to the square with the internal security department officials outside the National Guard Units and the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Around 13.00, a phalanx of the national guard troops accused of the crowd, shouted, “pushed” while hitting people with rebellion shields. The troops and the federal officers used pepper balls, tear gas boxes, flash bangs and smoke bombs to break the crowd.

No one in the crowd was violent against the federal deployment to that point. The aim of the fluctuation seemed to have made room for the convoy of the upcoming federal vehicles.

The Ministry of Internal Security Police Officers asked the protesters to keep the vehicle roads open early in the morning, but their orders on a speaker usually drowned by the cheers of the protesters. They did not give any warning before charging the crowd.

Some of the crowds used bottles and fireworks in LAPD. Two people drove motorcycles in front of the crowd, returned their engines and cheered from the audience. The police accused them of hitting the collision line, and it can be seen that motorcycles later fell to them. Drivers were ruled by the police, dragged along the asphalt with their feet shattered and spent rubber bullets.

On the other side of 101, vandals opened fire on a series of Waymos. While people smashed their windows with skateboarding, he collected smoke because of autonomous taxis. Others posed for photographs on the roofs of burning white SUVs.

After the CHP officers pushed the protesters from the highway, the masks and even a few electric scooters threw masks and even several electric scooters. A piece of concrete hit a CHP car and cheered from the crowd.

Lapd, closer to the City Hall, pushed the demonstrators towards Gloria Molina Grand Park, where some of the crowds squeezed their pink park benches from concrete assemblies and made them a temporary barricade in the middle of Spring Street.

The crowd, including a Catholic priest wearing his robes and a woman with a hairy head, until the lapd officers on horseback pushed them back to the barricades, until a few people who refused to withdraw. The video showed that a woman was chewed online.

The crowd moved to Broadway south, where LAPD reported that businesses were looted at 23:00 recorded by an ABC7 helicopter.

McDonnell said that the scenes of lawlessness were disgusted and “every good person in this city”.

Before any chaos explosion on Sunday, Julie Solis walked along Alameda Street, holding a flag of California to prevent protesters not to enter the follow -up behaviors later.

50 -year -old Solis said he believed that the national guards were deployed to provoke a response that would justify more aggression than federal law enforcement officers.

“They want arrests. They want to see us unsuccessful,” he said. “We must be peaceful. We must be effective.”
