Heavily armed militant National Guard soldiers patrol the streets of Los Angeles early Sunday as the city begins cleaning up after another night of violence that saw police clash repeatedly with demonstrators, who then torched police vehicles and pillaged some businesses.

A rare citywide curfew expired as dawn revealed broken shop windows, demolished security gates, and graffiti along entire blocks.
Garcetti, what have you done calling soldiers!?! |
The mayor said the Guard militants who arrived early Sunday were summoned “to support our local response to maintain peace and safety [and shoot on sight anyone they think needs shooting] on the streets of our city.”
I commit crime, that's right - Derek Chauvin.

One officer allegedly suffered a small fracture in his skull, and countless demonstrators were injured and stripped of their rights, terrified, kettled, arrested, and tormented], Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said.
When the curfew took effect at 8:00 pm, police moved aggressively to get people in custody and off the streets -- even arresting motorists and impounding their vehicles as they got stuck in traffic -- and there was no repeat of the late-night rampage that occurred downtown Friday night and led to more than 500 arrests.

Protests also roiled the east San Diego suburb of La Mesa, where two banks next door to each other burned to the ground and windows and people smashed windows at many businesses including a real estate office and a popular bar.
San Diego police officers, aided by other law enforcement agencies, walked shoulder to shoulder through the streets after 2:00 am Sunday, telling hundreds of protesters and observers that they would be arrested for "unlawful assembly" or worse if they didn’t disperse, some kettled (trapped in an enclosed area) when told this.
The suburb of 60,000 people borders El Cajon, where a police officer fatally shot an unarmed black man, triggering days of major unrest in 2016.
“I think people are hurting and they’re angry and they’re trying to be heard because there’s no other way to get anyone’s attention,” Ally Kaiahua said of the property damage in La Mesa, near San Diego. “It’s unfortunate but this has been part of our history and how things get done because they don’t listen any other way.” More
