This is nothing like the riots of course. They're not taking it out on the drivers.

(39,342 posts)One lady was swarmed with 50 people jumping on the car and hood.
She got out and it settled the group down.
They're going southbound on Crenshaw because they saw a skirmish line
at Stocker and 43rd st.
So they go the other way
Then they march peacefully, when away from the police they sprint again

(39,342 posts)Not that angry
But the jumping on cars came close
flamingdem
(39,342 posts)but the sprinters ignored them.
Now the sprinters are splintered.
The LAPD has 2 skirmish lines facing South and North
half is trapped inside lines half has gone North.
The police chief just tweeted: violence is never the answer urging all protesters to let peace prevail this is our city we need to work together

(154,021 posts)It seems we have a bunch (200 or so) young kids who broke from main march.
KNX sounds breathless. (Local station)
Sheriff's is backing LAPD
San Diego is still very quiet

(51,666 posts)by sending in riot squads so far. This is a bunch of young hooligans being stupid. LAPD is basically telling parents to get their children under control.
flamingdem
(39,342 posts)and asking parents to text their kids and warn them not to get arrested
They're about to declare "unlawful assembly" on the crowd
Have to follow strict guidelines
Civil disobedience will be the violation?
It will live with somebody "for eternity" hmm not sure if this is a cop speaking
very delicate situation, some very young kids involved.
