Major cities on the West Coast are experiencing riots mixed with protests Saturday night to honor the memory of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman shot in a police raid in Louisville, Kentucky, which is not n the West Coast.
The riots between the fascist crowds and police were seen in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles and many arrests were made, which hardly matters to the arrestees since these leftist cities tend to let felons out after they had their breakfasts.
In Los Angeles, demonstrators smashed store windows and threw rocks at cops in Hollywood, where actors and actresses are calling for the defunding of police at the expense of the business owners, many of whom are minorities.
Social media videos showed police officers in riot gear near the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street near the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One social media video showed a protester jumping on a police cruiser as it sped away. Unfortunately, the rioter was not hurt.
At least one officer was injured in the clashes, police said, according to an on-air report from KNBC-TV in Los Angeles. The officer’s condition was not reported.
It was unclear if any protesters were injured but we're keeping our fingers crossed that none are dead so that maybe one day we can put an end to the BLM and Antifa violence celebrations.
Bed Bath and Beyond, a CVS pharmacy and an Asian restaurant were among the businesses vandalized by the mostly peaceful protesters, according to KNBC and social media videos.
Police did not immediately report whether any scumcrumpets have been arrested but it hardly matters as they will be back out on the streets before you can say, "You know . . . the thing."
Earlier, hundreds of protesters marched and celebrated Taylor’s life peacefully in Hollywood and other parts of the city until they didn't.
In one video, police on bicycles are seen making arrests, while another video showed police in a van as they followed a group of potential anarchists.
Earlier, a violent clash broke out as police used pepper spray while moving in against a crowd.
A downtown Starbucks shop was seen with smashed windows and spray-painted messages on the outside. It's possible that the Mochalomafrappachota Latte was cold and this got them all riled up.
Police were also monitoring a group that they believed had been dragging construction signs and other items into the street in an apparent bid to block vehicles.
The Seattle Police Department tweets about 4 a.m. Saturday ET that they had made a mere 13 arrests.
In Portland, a federal courthouse in the downtown area appeared to be the main staging area for another face-off with authorities.
Just one night earlier, police had also made the magic number of 13 arrests and "kettled" about 100 demonstrators before allowing them to leave individually.
Last week’s protests outside the courthouse came soon after authorities removed a barrier that had been in place outside the building.
On Saturday night and into Sunday morning, new messages were seen spray-painted outside the courthouse, including, "Police are murderers." These same "mostly peaceful" demonstrators demonstrated their ambitions by attempting to murder those murderous police by burning them to death. Fortunately, it failed, just like their math scores.
Taylor, who was Black, was killed on March 13, 2020, when a group of Louisville Metro Police Department officers entered her apartment on a no-knock raid on Taylor's home as it was believed Walker was shipping drugs to that location. However, the police said that they did knock.
Taylor’s mostly peaceful and not very smart boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired at the officers, thinking they were burglars, he later told police. Naturally, the police officers decided that they didn't want to die so they fired back and Taylor was shot multiple times and killed in the crossfire.
Taylor’s family and their supporters have been seeking the prosecution of city police officers who participated in the raid that led to Taylor’s death. Three police officers have been fired and one detective was charged for allegedly shooting into adjacent apartments during the raid but none has been charged in connection with Taylor’s death.
Walker has filed a federal lawsuit against the Louisville police.
Walker has filed a federal lawsuit against the Louisville police.
Authorities in Kentucky stress that their investigation is continuing.
