"This is a very important and accurate point. At the height of the Iraq War, the U.S. had 175,000 troops mobilized to cover a country the size of California with only 75% of the population. It was not enough."

" 'I’ve looked at [the photos] multiple times today — I’ve been proud, I’ve been upset, I’ve been startled. Seeing our work repurposed in a moment of collective action was humbling and powerful,' RIOS co-CEO Andy Lantz told Diana Budd."

"Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers.
'These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect.' "

"LAPDHQ now chasing people up Temple. The crowd is dwindling and has largely dispersed. Could’ve done without the officer shoving me in response to a reminder that media is exempt from the curfew. Oh well, they’re just laws I guess."

"As LAPD was trying to establish its skirmish line they had mounted officers ride through traffic, on Temple. Once again, a person was caught in the path and knocked to the ground. Didn’t get video, but person popped back up and thankfully didn’t look that hurt."

"Extremely fluid, very changing situation. Almost on dot at 8pm curfew law enforcement agencies in many directions all over dt Los Angeles. Protesters mostly running away, running each other. Nat Guard is guarding a fed building on Spring.
Even as protesters & police run multiple directions after 8pm curfew, one woman blessing protesters w/sage.
Unlawful assembly being called via helicopter. Not sure how many here but at least in 100s."
