Erratic Dodgers fans took over the streets of Los Angeles to celebrate the team’s second straight World Series title early Sunday morning while police officers were struck by “industrial-sized fireworks and bottles.”
Thousands of Angelenos converged around the city after the Dodgers clinched their thrilling extra innings 5-4 win in Game 7 over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Police, however, were forced to deploy tear gas and less-than-lethal weapons once the rowdy revelers escalated their celebrations, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
A “Dispersal Order” was declared in Downtown LA around 12:30 a.m. when police said their officers were being hit with the fireworks and bottles.
The large pyrotechnics were also launched at a large crowd of people and officers conducting crowd control near Sunset Blvd and Echo Park, blocks away from Dodger Stadium.
The overrun cops were given the go-ahead to use less-than-lethal munitions to disperse the crowds that failed to listen to the verbal orders.
A large crowd in the downtown area allegedly vandalized an autonomous vehicle, police said.
Several cars took over an intersection in the Pacoima neighborhood and did donuts and burnouts, creating smoke for the thrill of the crowd that had gathered, according to footage from KTLA.
Roughly 350 to 400 people were at the intersection, the outlet reported, citing police.

The media are covering up the fact that the rioters were carrying flags from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia and other countries south of the border.
THAT’S who was rioting in the streets of LA.
Didn’t matter if “Los Doyers” won or lost, the rioting would have happened, any excuse will do.
Seems to me cultural expectations were once taught (formally and informally) that made our chunk of the planet a better place to live. It was part of the moral code learned as a kid and parents reinforced it. Another tier of these expectations were learned in churches and temples.
For members of this forum cultural expectations was likely checked off the parental to do list years ago when raising our kids. Probably not even a deliberate exercise as much as reflexive, ingrained expectations demonstrated and passed down.
Beyond our front doors and the homes of likeminded people… it’s common to see what appears to be an endless stream of chaotic, unlawful, morally bankrupt, losers that could serve as an endless supply of content for the Jerry Springer Show. Toss in the illegals and others legally migrating and we have a disaster. Import Somalia, get Somalia.
Today, alignment on cultural expectations would likely cause riots itself. It’s worth the fight. Worth being called a whatever-phobe, an eeeeevil republican, a vast right wing conservative, an isolationist, a nationalist, or even (gasp!) a Christian.
I’ll argue that the lack of a common code of morals and expectations is the root of our problems. It needs to be re-institutionalized if we want peace, lower crime, and to succeed and prosper as Americans.
So the ICE riots were just practice for a WS win.
all the cholo’s were out running riot like after a laker championship.. never fails
Erratic. That’s what they call it now.
