The crowd near Los Angeles City Hall had by Sunday evening reached an uneasy detente with a line of grim-faced police officers.
The LAPD officers gripped "less lethal" riot guns, which fire foam rounds that leave red welts and ugly bruises on anyone they hit. Demonstrators massed in downtown Los Angeles for the third straight day. Some were there to protest federal immigration sweeps across the county others appeared set on wreaking havoc.
Several young men crept through the crowd, hunched over and hiding something in their hands. They reached the front line and hurled eggs at the officers, who fired into the fleeing crowd with riot guns.
I believe they are agitators.
The same thing happened in the George Floyd Protests

(9,941 posts)3. Plenty of agitators. They don't let people into games with backpacks, possible weapons, etc. Think there should be rules
for protesters too, even when we might back the cause.
For example, Kyle Rittenhouse never should have been allowed to go to a protest with a rifle hanging around his neck. Same for the MFers on Jan 6th.
