Riot police, anti-ICE protesters square off in Los Angeles after raids
By Jane Ross and Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES, June 6 (Reuters) - Helmeted police in riot gear turned out on Friday evening in a tense confrontation with protesters in downtown Los Angeles, after a day of federal immigration raids in which dozens of people across the city were reported to be taken into custody.
Live Reuters video showed Los Angeles Police Department officers lined up on a downtown street wielding batons and what appeared to be tear gas rifles, facing off with demonstrators after authorities had ordered crowds of protesters to disperse around nightfall.
Early in the standoff, some protesters hurled chunks of broken concrete toward officers, and police responded by firing volleys of tear gas and pepper spray. Police also fired "flash-bang" concussion rounds. It was not clear whether there were any immediate arrests. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/riot-police-anti-ice-protesters-square-off-los-angeles-after-raids-2025-06-07/

3. The 2020 unrest

Started off with simple dissent, but then got out of control with businesses broken into and burned down, etc.. I remember an area of town where I used to live before I got married that was fairly heavily damaged. I'm sure Bass is trying to make sure that doesn't happen this time.
