A video shows protesters throwing cement bricks at cops on Saturday during the “No Kings” rally in Los Angeles.
The video — shared by Andy Ngo, a conservative media influencer — shows two men wearing masks, one of whom was carrying the flag of Mexico, breaking a large cement pole into smaller pieces and hurling it at LAPD officers who were controlling the crowd in front of the detention center near the federal building.
The unrest in Los Angeles was part of a series of nationwide demonstrations. The LAPD issued a citywide tactical alert at 5 p.m. due to “incidents occurring on Alameda between Aliso and Temple,” near the federal Metropolitan Detention Center.
About 200 people headed to the site to taunt officers, violently shaking metal gates set up to protect the complex and shouting profanities at officers.
Videos from the scene in Los Angeles also showed protesters waving Palestinian and other flags while throwing objects toward Department of Homeland Security agents.
DHS personnel deployed tear gas as LAPD officers in riot gear arrived to control the situation. Protesters resisted arrests, creating chaotic scenes in the streets outside the detention center.
Police arrested 70 people in relation to the protests yesterday. It is unclear if the duo in the video were among those arrested.
LAPD also reported that rocks were thrown at officers, leaving several with minor injuries while taking people into custody.
As of Sunday morning, no updates on charges or identifications have been released. Los Angeles police said they are still working to confirm the total number of arrests.

Why is Karen Bass still Mayoress?
Shoot them dead.
Someone throws a deadly object at me while I’m armed, and they don’t get a second chance.
Once the mob of terrorists start throwing bricks, they present an imminent threat of death to innocent people. The police should be allowed to use flamethrowers and/or machine guns to quell the threat from these terrorists. Any surviving terrorists should be charged with first degree murder, tried, convicted, and sentenced to the maximum punishemnt.
“Protestors” do not throw chunks of concrete at police, rioters do.
You don’t hate the fake media enough.
Since that didn’t happen, prosecuting them for aggravated assault on a police officer should be good for about 10 years per rock. If they take a plea about $100k for legal and 10 years probation with loss of civil rights as a felon. At least in the adult white white male with no criminal record tier of the justice system.
It would seem to me that any aggressor lobbing missiles while brandishing a foreign flag would be considered an enemy combatant, and therefore entitled to the treatment thereof. IOW, shoot the scumbags. I would anticipate any such shootings would be defensive and justified.
Bricks should be met with bullets.

Is there a video of it at that link?
No. When they start throwing blocks - Shoot. Them.
I strongly prefer GE M-134s. I like mini-guns.
I like watching body cam footage. A cop will be feloniously assaulted and it’s all right on camera but without exception every case is dropped by some lib prosecutor or reduced to a misdemeanor. And it th e usual suspects every time.
I stopped reading at “formerly at Al-Jazeera.”
Just damn.
Pray for peace.
Haven’t heard one person who, still, regularly decries the violence toward cops on J6 say one word about this latest anti-cop violence and the violence during the 100 days of the Saint George riots.
So if they aren't killed, they get POW status?
