Officers had to form a skirmish line to clear a large mob that vandalized a Metro train, a police car and several businesses in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night.

Police don’t have nightsticks anymore?

[lightman]

Celebrating five years of St. George of Fentanyl being drug-free?

[Jim W N]

Leftist governance shows it’s utter chaotic failure yet again.

[Apparatchik]

Mayor Karen Bass probably could not be reached for comment, likely on another city-funded junket.

[HonorInPa]

Amish kids again?

[the_Watchman]

No information about what caused the people to form a mob? Were they just wanting to be obnoxious?

[piasa]

Maybe there needs to be more deportations?

Or were these home-grown mobs?

[Zathras]

And so it begins....

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

The mob is just training for the upcoming Lost Angeles Olympics.

Wasn’t Saturday night the eve of the St. George of Fentanyl holy day of obligation?

[Delta 21]

I thought that chaos kinda spread all out everywhere as opposed to having to unfold chaos does seem rather restrictive for “chaos”.

[dragnet2]

The looters were being robbed by various gang members.

[piasa]

New Cali style Memorial Day weekend tradition?

[Noumenon]

Welcome to the jungle.

[Chickensoup]

They should have guns and use them often.

Stop the games in its tracks.

Could it be that maybe, just maybe the racist were right and some people can’t control themselves? Some people are too savage to live in a civilized society? Just a Thought?

“ Officers had to form a skirmish line to clear a large mob that vandalized a Metro train, a police car and several businesses in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night.”

Let me guess.
Minnesota Lutheran FFA kids in town for a convention?
That’s who normally does these things.

The writers for The Rookie are getting all kinds of episode ideas for free.

John Nolan will be a senior citizen using a walker by the time they run out of ideas and plots.

[BenLurkin]

Pretty crappy police force that lets its own cars be spray-painted.

> Police don’t have nightsticks anymore? <

Many don’t. The beating of Rodney King changed a lot of minds in that regard.

And that’s a shame. The nightstick works well as a prod or push weapon. But it shouldn’t be used as a baseball bat, as what happened in the Rodney King case.
