good looting at The Grove some high end stores.
We've had a few days of rioting and looting in Minneapolis and Atlanta and other cities. LA has had all that time to plan and prepare. Per wiki, with 9,974 officers and 3,036 civilian staff, it is the third-largest municipal police department in the United States, after the New York City Police Department and the Chicago Police Department.
And yet, with all that manpower and prep time, at 8:30pm they're asking for help...while the NYPD is driving over protesters.
It was breaking into stores on Rodeo Drive that changed the mayor’s mind.
Took SEVEN people to write this article?
Dang!
Ha. I bet half already forgot or never knew his name as they loot the whole foods.
When they go to the civilized areas their crap will not be tolerated.
Sure, in many areas the armed citizens are relatively few.
But Few may still be dozens per block not constrained by the sort of rules the cops are.
So dead rioters would be inevitable, and I genuinely feared my life and the lives of others would rule the day (Night!).
Hard to watch the 60 from a grave.
I know folk who lived in the valley area of Holly-Wierd during the Rotney King riots.
They and the neighbors barricaded the ends of their street and manned those barricades with a variety of firearms.
Cops driving past said nothing, nodded, or gave a small salute.
Their street was untouched by rioters.
The shopping district only a couple of blocks away was hit hard.
I expect a repeat, although the family I knew moved away.
Who’s making sure people aren’t surfing?
Too little, too late.
I sure hope he is handing out masks and telling them they can only stand on wet sand.
“Let’s loot a wide screen TV in memory of Whats-His-Name.....”

Lets see weve gone from shelter in place to curfew in two days
What a complete loser this guy is
I do think that making everybody stay at home for two months has contributed a little bit to this pent-up craziness thats going on
That being said I know for a fact Having been around this world long enough in the bag area. Oakland etc
That theres just legions a very bad characters out there !!! that are just looking for reason to go bust things up - steal shit - set snythjng on fire ; fight the police - whatever hellish behavior. just for fun - !!
believe it or not- Just for fun and excitement. This is NOT about protest. Theyre NOT aiming to change anyones mind or cure racism.
Even worse, some people may be taking advantage of the police being pre-occupied and holding church services.
This mayor has to be the most incompetent jerk in the country.
I never was a violent person, nor a keyboard warrior, but if the four on top of that car were rampaging in my neighborhood, the next photo would show them spread-eagled on the ground.
