Los Angeles police were searching Sunday for members of a group of
protesters, numbering about 50, who demonstrated outside the
department’s Van Nuys station, burned an American flag, sprayed graffiti
on the building and harassed several officers inside a cruiser before
leaving the scene.
The protesters, wearing masks and dark clothing,
first gathered at Tyrone Avenue and Delano Street before marching to the
station on Sylmar Avenue, where they circled the building chanting
anti-cop slogans.
Several members then pulled down the American flag
from in front of the station and set it on fire, the LAPD reported. Others in the group then spray painted anti-police slogans on the walls.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League condemned the group’s actions.
“Last night’s defund the police riot at the Van Nuys police station is a
pathetic reflection of those who continue to promote hate, violence and
destruction to justify their dangerous anarchist agenda that calls for
the abolishment of police officers in the city of Los Angeles,” a union
statement said.
