(154,021 posts)113. LAPD Declares Unlawful Assembly Refresh this page for updates.
Protesters are marching through Los Angeles along Crenshaw Boulevard near Leimert Park on Monday night, the second night of protests following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in Florida. Aerial video has caught some throwing rocks, attacking people and clashing with police.
Just before 10 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department declared the protest an unlawful assembly are trying to disperse the gathering, an LAPD spokesman confirmed.
A majority of protesters were gathered at Leimert Park (map), but a violent group has split off and walked up and down surrounding streets, rushing into businesses, attacking pedestrians and bicyclists and throwing objects at police.
LAPD officers appeared to use rubber bullets or bean bag weapons against some of the protesters at one point.
