Let this sink in.
Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.
During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”
and emphasized that those responsible were not the peaceful protesters demonstrating against ICE. He said the violent actors were “people who do this all the time,” not the individuals exercising their First Amendment rights during the day.
He affirmed what we already knew: the ones breaking windows and starting chaos weren’t the ones demanding justice, they were opportunists hijacking the moment.
