What began as a protest in Beverly Hills Saturday over the in-custody death of George Floyd led to looting of the Alexander McQueen clothing store on Rodeo Drive, attacks on three police vehicles and multiple incidents of vandalism.
Police used tear gas to break up the remaining 200-300 people gathered at Rodeo and Santa Monica Boulevard around 8 p.m., after the gathering was declared an illegal assembly.
More than 2,000 people came to Beverly Hills as part of a nationwide series of demonstrations, Keith Sterling, the city's public information manager, told City News Service.
The sign-carrying demonstrators reached Beverly Hills' famed three- block shopping street, Rodeo Drive, approximately 3:15 to 3:30 p.m., chanting Eat the rich. Signs carried by protesters included, George Floyd did not deserve to be murdered, Justice for George Floyd and Black lives matter.
Many protesters ignored social-distancing recommendations.

Beverly Hills is surrounded by City of Los Angeles...If you look at the map...
I am watching the local TV coverage...
Curfew started at 8 PM...LAPD officers stopped cars in Downtown LA...They arrested drivers for violating the curfew order...The tow trucks took away their cars... Those idiots, who showed up in Downtown Los Angeles, will have to pay several hundred dollars to get the cars back...
LAPD is getting assistance from other police departments...I don't remember that ever happening...Torrance, Hermosa Beach, and Hawthorne were mentioned on KFI radio...I also heard that Ventura County Sheriff's Office is sending help to Los Angeles...
I read some Twitter messages from people who were at the "protest"...They blamed LAPD for starting the chaos... Whatever...
What a nightmare for people of Beverly Hills...Thugs, from ghettos, showed up and tried to destroy that city... I am sure those thugs live down in South Central Los Angeles or up in Northeast Los Angeles...
They always blame someone other than the people who are responsible.
The brainwashing runs deep.
The NBC author of this must be named Karen.
Good maybe they will all die of the scary virus.So sick of all of them

put some fear into the white elitist who condemn our prez and hide behind their gated communities....
come out come out and play with your local thugs...
I mean isn't this your time to shine against Orange Man Bad? Stand with the looters!
They may be an unruly mob, but they have impeccable taste.
Beverly Hills residents should back an investigation on why the LAPD looked the other way, and allowed those looters , arsonists to trespass into their community.
“What began as a protest in Beverly Hills...”
B/S. Looting opportunity from the gitgo.
I don't have a link or photos, but I'm pretty sure that in 1992, The Rodney King riots, there were agencies from all over the state in L.A. assisting LAPD.
I know! I always knew that they’d go for the swag...
I know! They had advance knowledge, warning people to get out! Outrageous.
All these people out of work, receiving stimulus money, getting unemployment, plus whatever Soros is paying them per riot...they’re living on easy street.
Heavens to Betsy! Well, they can loot, burn, steal, destroy, and murder all they want. But please dont violate social distancing or go out without your mask on! Thats a real crime.
Reminds me of the Politeness Man comics the old National Lampoon used to run.
Exactly.
These thugs were not, and are not "protesting" anything. The media always label them as "protestors", as if they were peaceful.
These are murderous criminals.
