Glendale's police chief Wednesday blamed "agitators on both sides of the issue" for inciting violence that erupted outside a meeting of the Glendale Unified School District board, which was set to discuss policies in support of LGBTQ+ classroom curriculum.

The melee erupted Tuesday night as hundreds of people gathered outside the district's headquarters in the 200 block of North Jackson Street, where the board was meeting. Many people in the crowd held signs and waved American and LGBTQ+ Pride flags.

While the gathering was initially peaceful, factions on both sides of the emotional issue eventually grew confrontational, leading to fights and fists being thrown, ultimately prompting the arrests of at least three people.

"Yesterday evening, the Glendale Police Department professionally facilitated a large protest outside the Glendale Unified School District Board meeting," Glendale police Chief Manuel Cid said in a statement Wednesday morning -- which is the district's last day of school.

"While passionate and boisterous, the protest was largely peaceful, allowing community members to voice their perspectives on issues surrounding the school district," Cid said. "Unfortunately, a handful of agitators, on both sides of the issue, arrived at the demonstration with a clear desire to confront and incite violence, ultimately engaging in physical assaults. Glendale police officers responded to these fights swiftly and professionally, quickly making arrests and restoring order to the situation.

Some of "agitators" may show up in front of Dodger Stadium on Friday...Pride Night...Dodgers playing Giants that night...

Apparently there were Armenian parents who spoke up in favor of homosexual agenda at the school board meeting...

"Statements from progressive organizations — like GALAS LGBTQ+ Armenian Society, Armenian-American Action Network, and Southern California Armenian Democrats — were read."

One Armenian mother and Glendale resident, Anahid Yahjian, who gave public comment said she was attending to “show that the Armenian individuals who are claiming to speak for the Armenian community with their homophobic rhetoric and unacceptable behavior, in fact do not represent the Armenian community, let alone me.”

I guess some Armenian parents have no problem with homosexual agenda...

By the way, Congressman Adam Schiff represents Glendale...

Glendale was represented by a GOP congressman a long time ago...James Rogan...He lost in 2000 to Adam Schiff...

I can just about 100% guarantee that the “agitators” weren’t from both sides. The good guys might have RESPONDED to marxist agitation; but there’s no way they started anything.

How come the US has only two (major) political parties, and 437 genders? And how is ANYBODY supposed to remember the “correct” pronouns for each of them?

[antidemoncrat]

Must have been those violent MAGA Republicans Joe Birdbrain is always worried about engaging in that violence.

Whenever you hear “both sides” from anyone in the power structure you can be certain the leftists started it and the good guys responded.

Spineless, worthless chief had to do that for political minders or lose job.

“Apparently there were Armenian parents who spokeup in favor of the homosexual agenda...”

“Statements from progressive organizations -—like GALAS LGBTQ+, Armenian Society. Armenian-American Action Network...” etc.

Look up those organizations. They have websites that refugee and immigrant rights, with no contact information or information about their actual, present activities, and the twitter account doesn’t exist.

It just took a few minutes.

The left is expert at creating fake organizations and then the media takes them seriously.
