The attitude of the Los Angeles Police Department has now made a 180-degree turn. Just the day before, the Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement saying that the demonstrations in Los Angeles were peaceful. On June 8, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said at a press conference: "The violence I have seen is disgusting. Since this incident began, it has now escalated. What we saw on the first night was bad. Since then, what we have seen has become worse and worse, more and more violent. "
Jim McDonnell also said that those who committed violence outside were no longer those who exercised the right of "free speech", and the police had begun to arrest the perpetrators and hold them accountable.
It must be said that as the riots in Los Angeles continued to escalate, it also put great pressure on the Los Angeles Police Department. Now it has to admit that there are violent activities in the demonstrations, which also means that the California governor's narrative in the Los Angeles riots has failed.
