Los Angeles appeared to wrestle back control of the city last night with hordes of protesters detained and forced into police buses as hundreds of Marines and thousands more National Guard reinforcements were due to touch down.
Extraordinary footage showed rioters - who had driven Downtown LA to a standstill for four days - zip-tied and forced onto LAPD buses en masse as authorities sought to bring an end to days of chaos and destruction.
A convoy of armed Marines was simultaneously making its way toward Los Angeles under orders from President Donald Trump to regain control of the city.
Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had ordered the deployment of 700 active Marines into the riot-torn neighborhoods, as well as an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to support the 2,000 boots already on the ground.
California Governor Gavin Newsom insisted the troops would escalate the violence and branded the move a 'blatant abuse of power' - vowing to sue the administration to top the Marines in their tracks.
Trump warned LA would be 'obliterated' without him after rioters opposing the president's immigration crackdown set cars alight, looted businesses and brought major highways to a standstill.
The fightback began in Little Tokyo on Monday night when protesters were finally arrested after officers had told demonstrators that the area was under an unlawful assembly order and urged them to disperse and head home.
Authorities kettled those who didn't comply with the order into a confined area, encircling them as the buses pulled up before declaring they were all under arrest.

yeah. Jeremy the crime cruiser (see the post on FR) been circling the city for days and hasn’t seen one national guard or marine, while the city’s being overrun with looters and party cars. i think the national guard is either hiding or a myth at this point.
“Kettled” by police. That’s a new term for me. Interesting.
NG said to be tied down exclusively at federal buildings and properties, right? Providing protection there. And nowhere else, This Guy guesses. Including, not elsewhere, or in the streets generally, mixing it up with opportunistic thugs torching electric cars.
The inferno when those things burn!
It’s a crowd control move.
imho, the streets are full of opportunistic looters even at this hour. they are some how communicating and patrolling the city looking for opportunities. when they see one, they mask and glove up and get to work stealing. the riot is cover and a distraction at this point. this is out of control because no force is being used to meet it.
I’ve been watching several youtubers all night. There has been looting going on everywhere.
yes he’s the guy. he is righteous imo. he’s apparently been doing this riot reporting for years now. h/t to FReeper ifinnegan.
I just turned on to him.
I was watching another dude but he went off the air after being on live for hours. He had people on the street filming and one guy had his cell phone taken by looters who did not like their crimes being filmed.
Yea I’m wondering where are the Marines or National Guard? Why aren’t they out there in the city?
yeah. sadly, i think his sense is correct. the good citizens
of LA are basically defenseless at this point.
You’re certainly right about that.
Brazen theft at major retailers has been elevated to a sacrament in modern big-city Cali.
He looks "miffed."
I just tuned in to him. He’s headed to Newport Beach right now to check out some night birds that fly and roost by the beach. Said it’d take him about 30 minutes to get there.
I hope they can prosecute these chumps, not just take them away, and release them.
One thing I have noticed and that’s all these illegals are wearing mullets.
i don’t blame him. that was intense and scary. time to decompress. nice drive and great beach. my old stompin grounds.
smoke n scan has still been on, and it’s pretty much hands off by lapd on the looters, unless they actually catch them looting.
the streams have shown looters in stores carrying things out... the lapd showing up and possibly catching 1 out of 20-30 looters
then latter on, various groups of the same looters walking around or running down the streets, to their next target they are going to hit, down the street from police, and the police not doing anything, until they get called out by dispatch
For those interested, watch the last few minutes of the smoke n scan 6/9 stream, then the 6/10 continuation stream for examples of the looting going on and how the lapd is hands off the looters, unless they are caught actively looting.
And preferably these crooks see some serious prison time.
