George Floyd Protest: Tensions are EXTREMELY high in Los Angeles

Several LAPD cars have been vandalized as thousands of protestors converge in the Fairfax District, calling for change after the deadly arrest of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Monday. At least two police cruisers were set on fire. The demonstration, planned by Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, drew crowds to Pan Pacific Park by afternoon. At last word, the crowd had taken over the intersection of Third Street and Fairfax Avenue, blocking traffic. Initially, the situation was relatively peaceful and organized, but around 3 p.m. the protestors began to disperse throughout the area and tensions rose. CBSLA reporter Jeff Nyugen, who was on the scene, said most protestors did not participate in the vandalism. As many marched with signs and remained peaceful, a smaller crowd formed and began violently targeting police. Saturday marks the fourth day of protests in Los Angeles, following Friday night demonstrations that turned violent, prompting police to declare an unlawful assembly. At least six officers were hurt and 533 protesters were taken into custody. For complete coverage of the situation in Minneapolis visit CBSMinnesota.com and stream CBSN Minnesota.
