Images captured by CBS News Los Angeles showed members of the National Guard using what appeared to be tear gas and firing non-lethal rounds toward some groups of demonstrators.

"These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists," the post said, "Remember, NO MASKS!"
Unless you're ICE. Or a cop. Or a J6er.
Now I wonder if blending in with ice would be easy these days. They all wear basically camo khakis, and if everyone is masked anyway, what's to stop an entire cadre of people to show up to ice thugs arresting people all dressed like them? They'd never know who to arrest if a melee started
Looks like real Americans don't like fascism.
Looks like real Americans want their law enforcement to identify themselves and provide due process, as our Constitution dictates.
Looks like real Americans want their federal law enforcement agencies to be created by an act of Congress, not by a 79 year old steeply declining felon rapist.
We are less than 5 months into this. It's going to get a whole lot worse. L.A. is setting an example and standing up for our laws and our Constitutional rights.
I was up late watching a live stream. Haven't seen anything about the guy in a min van doing reverse donuts near the crowd. Some people were throwing rocks at him before he took off.
Chopper followed him till he parked, then a cop car pulled up and arrested him.
Yes, the news chopper guy and anchor seemed almost relieved to have a car chase to film for a change from watching the protests deteriorate into something more like random hooliganism and police violence. It's just luck he didn't kill somebody, he was clearly trying to. Like when he swerved towards the cyclist, and aimed those donuts at the crowd.
When the media says "protesters clashed with police", what they actually mean is "police violently assaulted protesters".
Even on the rare occasion where any of the protesters are violent, the cops almost always initiate it and any response is met with almost Israel-levels of disproportionate brutality.
#ACAB means police stenographers cosplaying as journalists too.
