A federal officer attempting to break up an altercation during a pro-Israel demonstration Sunday at the federal building in Westwood fired a single shot but no one was harmed, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said..

The rally, which drew some 500 people, was breaking up about 5:45 p.m. when Israel supporters and pro-Palestinian protesters began to clash, said sheriff's Deputy Juanita Navarro.

An officer with the Department of Homeland Security sought to intervene and fired his weapon once, Navarro said.

Probably. Why is Homeland Security handling this rather than the police?

Another article said the shot was fired as the attackers were fleeing. Just another cover up.

the IslamoNazi scum should be eliminated from USA, not continually imported as if it were fine French wine

(PS: what the hell are federal agents doing on the streets of America performing their ideas of basic police services? Doesn’t Los Angeles have its own local police department? Think about this...This particular federal agent may be a wondeful person and may be doing wonderful things, but these are still our local communities .. do we want a federal police force like O threatened us with during his campaign?)

The protests were at the federal building. My guess is this “Homeland Security” agent was an overtitled security guard.

in short,

1. Obama promotes every extreme IslamoNazi terrorist gang and “Brotherhood”... all around the world, sending them weapons, sending them US Military men to train them in the use of their new weapons, giving them tons of American taxpayer money, providing them all sorts of USA political support, launching wars and bombing and over-throwing foreign governments to bring terrorists to power

all the while, Obama keeps ipporting men from IslamoNazi controlled countries and areas into America, even paying for them to come here....

and when the inevitable happens and these enemy terrorist agents start making trouble in our cities and towns across America, Obama sends his federal homeland military or security agents into our streets to :help restore order:

it all adds up

a formerly-free America enslaved by a federal police or “homeland security” force, all controlled by a dictator in our White House

just like he told us in his campaign, he wants a ‘domestic army at least as large and as well equipped as the US Military”

don’t say he didn’t warn us

he did.

ok i get it. the picture shows action on the street, not in the building, but thanks for the clarification

(are the building guards inside fed buildings now part of DHS too? seems everyone on the federal payroll is being issued weapons and reassigned into DHS or under DHS control? Hopefully this is just paranoia!)
