LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Police Tuesday arrested two men who were allegedly seen dressed in full tactical gear threatening to ambush officers.
Two armed black men were seen about 12:45 a.m. dressed in military garb walking on Century Boulevard between Yukon Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard in Inglewood, according to police.
While the men carried “assault-type gear”, officers monitored their activity but took no action for the safety of several bystanders watching, according to Inglewood Police Lt. Greg Held.
The men were reportedly walking the neighborhood in a Black Lives Matter-type protest.
The men were taken into custody for questioning shortly before 7 a.m. near Foothill Boulevard and Terra Bella Street, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.

In cop-speak, they could have been wearing camo shorts.
Play combat games, win combat prizes . . .
Just as promised, these armed poverty pimps are part of Obola’s “homeland civilian army that’s just as large and equipped as out military.
Ho dee do
Were they breaking any laws? The second amendment applies to BLM morons as much as to you and me!
Then again, in some places wearing a Pro-Trump t-shirt is considered “Assault-Type Gear”
I’m still shocked there was truth, and a couple of them or more, in a CBS article, even local.
I’m fainting.
[Were they breaking any laws?]
“threatening to ambush officers”
There’s your answer.
Interesting when you listen to the police chief in the linked video.
He specifically mentions 'organized militia' as a threat.
Sounds like the standard 'bait and switch' we hear so often now, trying to slime patriot-types with the crimes of others.
How is the 'organized militia' in any way connected to this event?
In California, if they had 30-round mags and standard mag release buttons, yes. Which sucks, but there it is.
George Soros funded.
nobody takes an American citizen “into custody for questioning”
that is how third-world tin-pot dictatorships work
there is either something much, much more we haven’t been told...(and the mass media does such major omissions or errors....nowadays very often)....
..or else these cops need to be instructed on their duties to protect and serve all Americans (and all Americans’ rights to keep and bear arms)
or have their employment terminated and use the vacancies to hire police that will perform their duties with honor
They were “followed” for about 6 1/4 hours?
It sucks, but that is true. And it should be true.
Just....WOW!
Obviously, the 2A, 4A & 5A mean absolutely NOTHING to the LAPD.
“For my Safety” has replaced “Serve and Protect”
Why shoot a beanbag at them? The article leaves me guessing as to whether I am supposed to see these guys as bad guys or as guys patrolling against gangs or guys protesting Brown’s ridiculous gun law, or loonie-twins, or what?
Sounds like cop-speak BS to me.
Could be.
Then again, that stuff has pretty much come out of the mouths of several others in the BLM movement.
We’ll see if they got any video or audio evidence. Dunno.
There’s your answer.
Was the threat spoken, or was it only a perception because of their garb and gear? The article doesn't say, and you know how often these journo-lists get it wrong.
Wow, they actually said “armed black men”.
