Two people were arrested and three officers injured in a protest that erupted as the Los Angeles City Council approved a ban on homeless encampments within 500 feet of schools and daycare centers.
The 11-3 final vote on Tuesday, which applies to public and private schools, came after the meeting was recessed due to dozens of protesters shouting their opposition while police cleared the council chamber.
The standoff with officers was triggered after one woman began cursing at the council and suddenly stepped past the benches towards the city leaders, causing officers to immediately intervene as demonstrators yelled at them.
While police tried to arrest the unidentified woman, officials said members of the crowd surrounded the cops, with activist Ricci Sergienko directly interfering and allowing the woman to temporarily get away.
During the incident, one sergeant and two Security Service Division officers who were responsible for public safety of City Hall were injured.
The incident comes a week after a similar protest interrupted the initial vote of the bill, which must be signed by LA Mayor Eric Garcetti before it takes effect.

Leftists Vs Leftists...................what’s not to love?....................
Well golly - that sounds like an insurrection.
which must be signed by LA Mayor Eric Garcetti before it takes effect.
The story is still being written....................
More violence from pro-Trump white supremacists! Lock them up for a year for disrupting an official proceeding! $10,000 fine and six months in jail! /s
I thought Garcetti was going to be ambassador to India
They were protesting FOR homeless camps near schools?
What will he do and what will the local community do after?”
They are going to make the Hotels take them.
‘They were protesting FOR homeless camps near schools?’
It’s their home sweet home after all. Time to homeschool your kid.
So its a ban, on something that is already banned? That oughta fix it.
Defy leftists and they go violent. I wonder why so many on here think the right is in danger of starting things off.
Right on cue, these troublemakers are showing exactly why people wish to maintain a safe distance from anything ‘homeless’. Why not change that 500 feet away to 500 miles away?
The trick with these kinds of laws, just like the laws banning sex offenders from living near schools and daycare, is that if you make the zone big enough, you cover nearly the entire city, since there are schools and daycare centers everywhere.
So it’s no wonder some people are going to be upset. But it also probably means that the law is at risk of being struck down at the first court challenge for being overly broad. It’s essentially trying to reinstitute vagancy laws using a novel mechanism.
They probably want to turn the schools into homeless encampments.
They have a point—the teachers and kids would flee and the kids would be free of leftist indoctrination and LGBT groomers.
Thankfully, they were leftists, so it wasn’t an insurrection. Close call.
Cool...
Time to homeschool your kid.
= = =
Could your homeschool be considered a ‘private school’, and thus have a 500-foot HFZ?
ever see the video of the guy escorting kids off a bus past the “unhoused”
