Police are declaring an unlawful assembly in downtown Los Angeles as officers attempt to disperse protesters. Tear gas and pepper spray have been used on demonstrators. The L.A. Police Department reported that some protesters were “becoming increasingly unruly” and that people were throwing rocks, bricks, bottles, and other objects.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the downtown curfew will remain in place indefinitely, which requires protesters to clear a one-square-mile area by 8 p.m. Multiple protests took place across Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Monica, and other locations in Los Angeles County and Orange County.
