Mayor Bass: 'No Kings' has been 'successful, peaceful day' despite dispersal issues

After a long day of “no kings” protests throughout the country on Saturday, including 15 separate demonstrations in Los Angeles alone, the city’s mayor hopes that although some troubles in obtaining crowds in dispersion, today he will remember that he is peaceful.

“Sometimes people who are not part of the main protest are hanging out, then this is where you can face a problem.” “I think this happens at the present time, but I am thinking at the end of the day, this will be a successful and peaceful day.”

The mayor said that she spent about an hour to travel next to a helicopter over each site. “Everyone was peaceful … the city center, which was a huge protest, was still largely peaceful. I think at times at the same time when you have a large crowd, in the end, it becomes a little more difficult.”

The mayor may refer to the officers ’need to spread the flash and tear gas at one time when LAPD mentioned that some demonstrators” have become increasingly university “and that people were throwing rocks, bricks, bottles and other things.

SKY5 was above the city center at approximately 8:30 pm, where a crowd of demonstrators could still see flags in a street corner after the curfew. The group seemed peaceful and did not prevent traffic; However, it was not clear how long it would allow the law enforcement to stay in the region.

Bass said: “I mean, we give them time to differentiate, and if it is clear that they are trying to leave, there is a level of patience. But if not, this is an illegal group.”

The mayor is concerned about the possibility of violence if the law enforcement is unable to make the demonstrators return to the home in time, but he was hoping that this would be the case.

Bass said: “I have not heard of the breaks or writing on the huge walls, as we saw in the past few days, and we hope that we can disperse the crowd,” Bass said. “Now just 40 minutes away from the curfew, so I expect it to take some time, but people who want to leave safely will be allowed to leave, and those who do not want to leave safely, and they will be vulnerable to arrest.”
