Freeway safety when a protest breaks out
The downtown LA protest over the death of George Floyd saw protestors blocking the 101 Freeway and breaking the windows of two CHP cruisers. It raises the issue of freeway safety and preventing these protests from becoming dangerous freeway encounters.
The Minneapolis Police Department has already fired the four officers involved with the call. On Wednesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called on Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to file criminal charges against the arresting officer in Floyd’s death.
Organizers of Black Lives Matter tweeted “Too much trauma. Too much mourning. Too many hashtags. Too often healing these wounds over and over again. Stop killing us. We stand with you Minneapolis, our hearts are broken too”.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore also took to Twitter saying " The actions I watched in the video were incredibly disturbing and go against the basic law enforcement principle of preservation of life. Knowing that we have experienced our own high-profile incidents here in Los Angeles, I can assure you the LAPD strives each day to build trust and these events are sobering reminders of how quickly that can be lost.''
Police confirmed Thursday no arrests were made.
