Around 50 protesters gathered in Los Angeles' Van Nuys neighborhood around 11 p.m.wearing masks and dark-colored clothing, the LAPD said Monday. They began chanting anti-police slogans and circling the police station.
“Several in the group then removed an American flag from a pole in front of the station and set it on fire, police said. Others spray-painted anti-police messages on the outside walls of the building.
At one point, some protesters began hitting a marked police vehicle with uniformed police officers inside and blocked it from driving away, according to police.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League called the incident a "pathetic reflection of those who continue to promote hate, violence and destruction to justify their dangerous anarchist agenda that calls for the abolishment of police officers in the city of Los Angeles."
The incident came a day after protesters visited the home of LAPD Chief Michel Moore and plastered it with anti-cop posters.” #FoxNews
