A protest at Pershing Square in downtown L.A. Tuesday left an officer injured as protesters clashed with police.
The protest was organized following the leaked Supreme Court document that indicates the high court’s plan to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark legal decision that protects a woman’s constitutionally protected right to abortion.
Initially, the Los Angeles Police Department provided an escort for those attending the rally as they walked from the United States Courthouse on W. First Street to Pershing Square, according to Chief Michel Moore.
Around 8:50 p.m., the LAPD sent out a tweet urging people to avoid the area due to “police activity” which was expected to cause traffic delays and congestion.
Chief Moore later said that some of those who were in attendance at the rally attempted to “take the intersection” and some in the crowd threw rocks and bottles at officers as police tried to clear the area.
Video from the scene showed armed officers trying to contain the crowd and the windshield of at least one police cruiser smashed.
One officer was apparently injured, Moore said, although the extent of their injuries was unclear.
The activity led to the Police Department declaring a “citywide tactical alert,” meaning officers were to be on high-alert and expected to be on standby throughout the evening.
By 10:30 p.m., the scene was mostly cleared and the citywide alert was canceled, police said.
Tuesday night’s protests were one of hundreds across the country, including dozens in the Greater Los Angeles area. Prior to Tuesday’s conflict with police, the protests were considered peaceful and orderly.
Insurrection! Throw them in jail without bail. Put up concertina around the capital!
Mostly peaceful.
Uh, abolishing the 13th and 19th amendments can’t be far behind. Pedo joe did remind us that none of that crap is absolute. Right branDUHn?
Shocked, I tell you.
I’ll bet they are held in jail for years with the 1/6 protestors.
Obama needs to be impeached for calling on his minions to “take to the streets.”
So now we’re going to have “Child Deaths Matter”, I suppose.
The Left is cheap and unimaginative.
Long, long ago searching for the opportunity.
Why are the pro-abortion protestors in Los Angeles so upset? Kalifornia will still be a baby killing state as will NJ and NY.
We had protestors too. They are insane. Abortion is legal in California and Colorado and will remain legal regardless of what happens to Roe. WTH do they think they are protesting?
The Democrat Socialists of the blue states will not abide with the least infringement of what they consider their hard-won government-given right to behave as badly as they want, in the fields of medicine, education, economy, public discourse, or personal interactions.
This resistance to any restriction whatsoever on where and how they may practice child sacrifice is but one more example of their general disdain for the opinions of the more rational among us.
“ the landmark legal decision that protects a woman’s constitutionally protected right to abortion.”
Don’t really think that is in the constitution.
“We the people of the United States, in order to reduce the number of children enshrine in our union the right to kill unborn cells”
Yea, don’t think our founding fathers would have approved of pre-birth killing of children.
WTH do they think they are protesting?
Thinking is not exactly their strong suit.
“constitutionally protected right to abortion.”
I’m getting tired of hearing that phrase.
It’s the end of the world as we know it. /s
With apologies to R.E.M.
Notice the baby killers always look the same, nasty, fat, ugly pieces of crap..I mean look at these loons, look at how they are reacting over not being able to murder babies..I tell ya these people if you can call them that are sick sick sick freaks
What likely happened is some leftist Democrat who works at the Supreme Court building was infuriated upon seeing the opinion draft and thought: I'm gonna really f up our country's legal process by deliberately leaking the opinion draft, resulting in all hell breaking loose for the next few months, causing endless, massive, wild pro-abortion protests every day outside the SCOTUS building, while the SCOTUS tries to deliberate and reach its final decision on the case.
Hmmm ....... sounds like what the liberal Democrats did during their 2020 election steal - completely sabotage the process, then blame Trump, Trump voters, and Republicans for what the Democrats actually did.
The guy I work for says most of the women who are pro-abortion are too unattractive for him to want to f*** in the 1st place-rude, but I think he’s right...
Yep, from the ones Ive seen posting online they are all ugly, fat filth who if Soros were not paying them to protest would be home with their 30 cats or at the nearest buffet eating themselves to death
