LAPD And Protesters Get Violent Outside Mayor Garcetti's House

One person was arrested as police and protesters clashed on the 13th consecutive day of demonstrations outside Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s official residence, held in an attempt to prevent President-elect Joe Biden from appointing Garcetti to his cabinet.

At about 10:30 a.m., while officers were in “crowd management mode,” a person began using a bullhorn, which is not allowed by the city’s municipal code within 500 feet of residential zones, LAPD Officer Melissa Podany said. The sound it generated traveled more than 200 feet and prompted a noise complaint.

“Four officers attempted to make an arrest for the above violations, when the crowd moved in on the officers, punching and kicking them, which resulted in an ‘officer needs help’ call,” she said. “At that time, an unlawful assembly was declared.”
