Rioting in a democratic nation is wrong. It harms the community where it takes place and people can take advantage of the situation to loot. What is happening in LA is wrong. What is also wrong are the lies being spread by the Trump administration about this. Lies have involved the President of Mexico and of course Trump himself. He has said that the demonstrators have been paid to protest and bricks have been left out for them to riot with. This was after he congratulated the National Guard for calming things in LA before they actually arrived at the riots!
It has been hard on the people of LA. But the LAPD are going to be under scrutiny for what they have done. Not just shooting journalists, but brutality against civilians. There are times that a journalist will be hit by accident, but the video above shows just how far over the line some police have stepped.
It also shows us the restraint shown by UK police during the Farage Riots of last year!
