Clashes broke out Thursday night between officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and at least 100 protesters who were trying to stop police from clearing out Echo Park's homeless encampment.
A newly installed fence surrounded the popular Los Angeles park Thursday after authorities moved in to evict residents of the large homeless encampment despite protests by the people who live there and their supporters.
Only a few tents and about a dozen people remained by evening along the grassy banks of Echo Park Lake, where tents had proliferated for months during the coronavirus pandemic, sparking concerns about trash, drugs and violence.

LAPD need to be seconded the border patrol after they finish this, it is good training!
You talk about Stupid? If the Mayor or the LAPD had any sense of right and wrong, they would have arrested all 200 protesters and Given Each Homeless Person a Ride to one of the Arrested Protesters Homes to set up camp and Live, guaranteeing them the LAPD and the Homeowner/Resident agree to this new Location and they will NOT BE BOTHERED!.
California's government is a mess.
California society is a mess--that's why.
The majority of Californians live in a delusion, out of touch with reality. It's a mass psychosis. It's always painful when reality smashes delusion, and sooner or later it always does.
What does that even mean??
You won’t find too many illegals amongst the homeless. It’s funny-nothing in common those folks. Double whammy problem and the cops get dumped on.
But but but... this wasn’t on my evening news! We now have to get the news of what’s happening through the UK!

Those being cleared are not homeless. Intruth, those people are tent dwelling squatters on public lands.
They choose to leave free in tents

He doesn't. That is the problem.
Yet stupid people keep electing him by a vast margin.
LAPD wants the park back for choir practice?
This is what happens when you let a situation get out of control and then do something about it. It would have been much simpler to not allow any one to camp in the park years ago.
The protesters may want better hotels for the soon-to-be ex-homeless, and maybe some free vacations to Hawaii for them.

Is this the future of America?
Here in Los Angeles it’s became a mecca for two things protests and marathons.
