The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared an unlawful assembly in the downtown area after Los Angeles Rams fans got out of control following the team's win against the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

"We are seeing violent and destructive behavior by large crowds in the heart of the Downtown LA area. We have issued several dispersal orders and have a large police presence. Everyone that is part of those crowds, obey all dispersal orders and clear the streets immediately," LAPD tweeted.

Videos posted on Twitter showed stores were broken into and looted with some vehicles also being damaged. LAPD ordered the crowd to disperse before moving in and using crowd control munitions. CBS Los Angeles noted LAPD policy does not allow officers to use tear gas or any type of gas for crowd dispersal, but rather foam projectiles.

Hmmmm. I commented to Mrs rktman yesterday evening after the game had finished that I wondered what time the looting and car burning would commence. NOT unexpected from my point of view. Celebrate good times COME ON!

Sad that folks have to riot and destroy things as their idea of celebrating a victory. Or perhaps there is a larger number of disgruntled ‘other team’ fans in LA than is known.

Looking at the pics it appears that the assclowns are a mix of “fans”. Now that’s equality right there. I saw somewhere that the nfl has ‘donated’ $500 million to underserved communities and ‘bipoc’ causes........... Seems likes someone wasted some money. If this is what you get for $500 million....

“DHS intelligence?”

That is a code word for anti-”deplorable” propaganda.

They have narratives to push, and could not care less if facts get in the way.

Just 24 hours ago officials/officers were worried about the domestic terrorist truckers parking their vehicles, clogging traffic flow and blowing their horns.

[I never have understood that — win and go tear stuff up, break windows, set vehicles on fire, loot, etc.]

When I read that headline I thought that the LAPD (was the entity) that had been declared to be an unlawful assembly.
Someone needs to go to remedial headline-writing school.

The news reported that the celebration after the game became “rowdy”. Can you believe that? Rowdy...

Amazing how that apparently is happening across America this morning.

We can relax, the BLM celebrations, riots, crimes and burglaries apparently were mostly peaceful.

Homeland Security and other Federal agencies apparently did another great job protecting Americans in LA.
