Los Angeles police on Sunday said they made four arrests after a clash between civilians and police followed “peaceful” protests in downtown L.A. the day before.

According to LAPD, some people within a large crowd of protesters started to “direct physical assaults on officers” and vandalized property just after 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Protesters also walked onto the 101 Freeway.

People had descended outside City Hall and the Federal Building on North Los Angeles Street in one of many protests across the U.S. Saturday. LAPD initially described the demonstration as peaceful, but just after 7 p.m., the agency issued a citywide tactical alert.

Police used batons on protesters, footage shows. At one point, an officer was seen speaking to a woman holding up a phone before pushing her. A man then appeared to knock the officer to the ground before a melee between police and civilians ensued.

LA, now. I see. Their goal is to have the country in flames in time for the election. After all, NOTHING matters to these people except the election, which is 99 days away.

The media will continue calling the violent revolution a peaceful “George Floyd” protest, even as courthouses crumble to the ground.

Which major city is next? Take these people seriously. Very seriously.

Police are civilians.

Which city did they burn that is heavily Republican? I assume voting will be very difficult in these cities on that night. Do you think we’re going to lose the Republican vote in those areas?

Agree...I don’t think we’re taking them seriously enough at all. They really do want the overthrow of the US and our constitutional government, and we’re just saying, “oh those crazy kids.” And the destruction and chaos they are creating, unopposed, makes it look as if they’re on the winning side.

Of course, if the Dem mayors and governors didn’t support them, that would be different...but apparently the Dems also want the overthrow of the US and our constitutional government.

So yes, they need to be taken very seriously.

Police are not civilians. Try any dictionary and look up “civilian”.

Look at how many fat liberals there are in the footage. ARe they surprised the cops are going to push back? We have raised a generation of liberal angry dummies.

Well, I did. Some agree with you and some agree with me. To me a civilian is someone who is not in the military, but some dictionaries add “or police force”. I am aware that the police refer non-police as “civilians”. I wonder if this use has caused a change in the dictionaries.

If your dictionary doesn’t have BLM listed as a
peaceful protest organization, then it’s out of date
and an officer will interview you to find out why you
didn’t turn it in at the appointed time.

Oh no! My dictionary still has BLM listed as the Bureau of Land Management. The new replacement pages haven’t arrived yet, but I have removed and destroyed the offending pages...

Not in LA it doesn’t - and not anywhere else with sympathetic Dem district attorneys.

Commit murder with a firearm in LA and you can be out in less than a month.
