Great use of resources, beat up one dude with like 30 cops in riot gear while nobody else is around. They're trying to make these LA protests seem like a war zone. I watched the live videos and there were maybe 100 people protesting, and it was obvious that the police escalated the situation. And now they're trying to paint it as some lawless o protest thats turned into a war zone. Don't let them drive the narrative! None of that is true.
