No Kings Mob Assaults Cops in LA with ‘Concrete, Rocks, Bottles and Commercial Grade Fireworks’ [WATCH]

A large-scale protest held in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday escalated into violent clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement, prompting authorities to declare the gathering an unlawful assembly and impose a citywide curfew.

The demonstration, part of the “No Kings” movement, drew more than 20,000 participants and began as a peaceful protest before deteriorating into confrontations with police outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building.

The Los Angeles Police Department responded by deploying tear gas, mace, and crowd-control measures.

Officers on horseback and in tactical gear moved into the crowd, and armored vehicles were brought in to assist in clearing the area.

Footage from the scene showed officers charging through crowds while demonstrators and bystanders attempted to flee the area.

Tear gas was deployed throughout downtown, causing panic and forcing protestors to retreat.

Some officers were observed using batons as they attempted to restore order.

“We just wanted to come and support our people and we’re getting tear gassed for it,” said Melissa Bran, 28, as she used a wet cloth to wipe her eyes.

The city issued a curfew to take effect at 8 p.m. in response to the ongoing unrest.

Volunteer medics were present at the scene, providing assistance to individuals affected by tear gas and other crowd-control measures.

Some attendees expressed disapproval of the police response. “It was a total 100% over-reaction,” said Samantha Edgerton, 37.

“We weren’t doing anything but standing around chanting peaceful protest.”

Law enforcement officials stated that their response was prompted by escalating threats to public safety, including the use of projectiles and incendiary devices against officers and the crowd’s refusal to disperse after repeated warnings.

Meanwhile, in Portland, Oregon, another protest associated with the “No Kings” movement was declared a riot near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

The Portland Police Bureau reported that the situation had become unsafe and that rioters were threatening law enforcement with physical attacks and criminal acts.

“Failure to adhere to this order may subject you to citation or arrest,” the Portland Police Bureau said in a public statement.

“If necessary, crowd control measures, including impact munitions or other physical force may also be used if justified by law.”

The events in Los Angeles and Portland follow a series of nationwide demonstrations tied to the “No Kings” movement, which opposes President Trump and his administration’s policies.

Both cities are continuing to assess the extent of the damage and any arrests that may result from the incidents.

Authorities in both jurisdictions have emphasized their commitment to restoring order and maintaining public safety while continuing investigations into acts of violence and destruction that occurred during the protests.
