Another verbal confrontation between the several Pro-Newsom group and some pro-Recall people. LBPD stationing several more vehicles nearby, as several walk through.
Things getting crazy. Will fill in blanks later. Trump side is on each corner now, police seem to not be able to contain.
(Moving backward a little) As rumors began that President Biden would be going to be going through the intersection of Carson / Faculty, a group of pro-Recall began assembling on the other side.
Another view once things beginning to get confrontational, this time from the pro-Newsom side (beginning to be just one of the sides, lots of mixing)
Police beginning to form a small line across the street from the entrance to LPCC. One pro-Recall man being yelled at for being on the pro-Newsom side.
As the pro-Recall Ralliers fill the streets and the median, LBPD informs several of the pro-Newsom people they need to remain in the street. I’d put the numbers at about 500+ pro-Recall, less than 20 pro-Newsom. Pro-Newsom Ralliers upset about what they feel is uneven policing.
Pro-Recall demonstrators take over all corners and several medians within the road as the Biden caravan speeds through. Groups begin making their way further down Faculty closer to the entrance to LPCC where Biden is scheduled to speak.
Pictures of the Presidential limousines while pulling into LBCC.
As the caravan of President Biden continues, some shoving of pro-Recall protestors. One pro-Newsom protestor yells “get ‘em out.”
A view from the pro-Recall side of things after Biden arrived.
LBPD forming a line on Carson street- crowd chanting “USA! USA!”
Traffic going through now, after pro-Recall side moved to sidewalk.
Another verbal confrontation between pro-Recall and pro-Newsom sides. Pro-Recall side calling one of the Newsom supporters a pedophile.
Earlier: “There’s only so many of us.” A LBPD officer’s response to a protestor asking why the pro-Newsom corner was being told to stay in one place as the pro-Recall side filled the median and roads
A CHP cruiser makes its way through the pro-Recall protestors in the street. Pro-Recall supporters run to the Pro-Newsom sode and begin chanting “Trump! Trump! Trump!”
LBPD beginning to set up a loudspeaker. Sheriff’s Hazmat unit driving past.
Mobile “slinky” barricade being transported in.
A group of pro-Recall supporters currently outside the Westin Hotel, where the President is rumored to be staying.

I’m OTG at the UCLA Gaza Solodarity Encampment. A large group of pro-Israel demonstrators are around. One person from the encampment looks very hurt. Hundreds throughout the area.
Reports of fireworks being thrown towards the encampment. Seeing a plume of smoke (looks like just firework smoke for now) coming from near the encampment.
One person (I can’t say for sure which side he’s on) treating what appears to be a pepper spray injury.
Breaking: a group of pro-Palestine demonstrators have blocked the intersection of El Segundo and Continental in El Segundo, CA (Raytheon has buildings at this area)
Vehicles attempting to go in appear to be attempting entrance in another place for the time being.
I’m unclear on who, but some shoving from an employee at Raytheon towards some people who were near some graffiti over the Raytheon sign in front of their office in el Segundo, CA
Greetings! I’m in Los Angeles, where a group of about 40 are gathered regarding Takar Smith, who was killed during a mental health call by LAPD. LAPD alleges he had a knife over his head; protesters are calling that into question.
Family of Takar Smith and protesters on a caravan (both vehicle and on foot) and marching.
Protesters and family of Takar Smith have arrived at Rampart Station.
Do these folks wearing brown berets look familiar? All were in attendance in support of KDL at a recent city council meeting.
These are all members (or at least consistently around) the Brown Beret National Party in LA. *Not to be confused with the Aztlaneca Brown Berets in LA*
