Protesters Clash With LAPD Outside Farmer’s Market Near The Grove

Police formed a skirmish line along Third Street near Fairfax Avenue just after 2:30 p.m. as thousands of demonstrators took over the intersection of Third Street and Fairfax Avenue, shutting down traffic in the heavily traveled area.Despite the heavy police presence in the area, people climbed on top of buildings and a commuter bus, squad cars were vandalized and burned, and officers occasionally used their clubs to control the crowd.

At one point, protesters smashed the windows of a police cruiser before it went up in flames. Thick smoke could be seen billowing into the air during live coverage on CNN and the local television stations. Firemen would not enter the area without police protection, according to news reports.This latest unrest came after days of skirmishes in downtown L.A., after protesters — led by Black Lives Matters — blocked freeways touching off melees.

During his briefing this afternoon, Garcetti spoke of other recent police killings of African Americans, but said violent protests are not the answer. “When the violence escalates, no one wins,” he stated. “I’m asking all of Los Angeles to take a deep breath and to step back.”
