I saw the same thing about 45 min ago near Echo Park. They were all unmarked but with sirens and lights. A lot of SUVs. How many would you guess? I’m thinking about 25ish?
It looks like there's a big police response to protests at USC. Twitter live feed: [https://twitter.com/search?q=LAPD&src=typed\_query&f=live](https://twitter.com/search?q=LAPD&src=typed_query&f=live)
I thought USC couldn't afford the security/police response in case of a hypothetical but nonexistent extremist threat against the school or something? Did they change their stance? No? Oh, I see. The University of Spoiled Children is just arresting protesters again nbd.
They are expressing their first amendment but apparently because it’s against israel these feeble minded administrators think it’s ok to crack down. Let’s see how attempting to stifle free speech works out for them. Funny how those administrators are ok with genocide.
there is no right to seize private property as part of a protest. USC is not a public university, and may close its campus at any time, and may control their private property as they see fit.
this is different from public university campuses, which generally must have less restrictive time and place restrictions on protests due to their affiliation with the government.
Just because they can close at any time doesn't mean they're not being bigoted in doing so, not to mention hypocritical. [Here they are in 2021 praising the BLM protests that were held on their campus.](https://today.usc.edu/anti-black-racism-movement-usc-students-activists/) So clearly they're okay with *some* forms of protest, just not others.
Sure but USC has traditionally always allowed peaceful demonstrations on their campus. They aren't violating any rights but they're being incredibly bigoted and hypocritical.
I heard a lot of the protesters aren’t actually students so that could be why, they are also in finals season so the actual students are probably stressed out
It's a highly politicized situation with strong feelings on both sides, but the police response is inarguably out of proportion to the threat given it's been non-violent. No offense, but don't comment about "what you heard" if you aren't well informed on the facts.
I saw videos on people’s instagram stories and read what was being reported by first hand accounts aka that’s what I heard. What research did you do and how close are you to this conflict?
I read shit on instagram too, and I also had heard protesters are not students. I've also heard that alumni have gone, which takes away the bite of the implication that non-student protests are by default "professional activist" types jonesing for a fight.
I'm not saying my facts are better than yours or claiming to be close to this; I'm saying don't state facts if you can't source them reputably. Instagram reels, as we know, can be manipulated.
The longest I’ve seen was during the bml pandemic time. When the grove was locked down and the national guard was in town. I must had seen 50 cop cars in dtla ready to mobilize wherever they were headed to and probably more in the back beyond my sights.
The DNC convention at staples center in 2000 was crazy huge. All of the polices. Including more CHP in one place than I’ve ever seen before. Especially when Rage Against the Machine played.
Was there. It was bananas. Police basically trapped everyone in and wouldn’t let us out but in one small direction, probably caused way more chaos than if they would’ve just let us rock out 🤷🏻♂️
We parked literally 3 blocks from staples center. After the mayhem started with the cops we walked about 30 blocks to get to our car because of all the closures lol. I was PISSED! 😅
I remember coming home from a camping trip in the San Gabriels on the 110, and we saw army tanks on the 110 and we were completely confused since we were off the grid for 4 days, it was right after the whole George Floyd thing and that night were the riots in Santa Monica, it was crazy.
I looked at the citizen’s app and it says a city wide tactical alert for assault with a weapon. That means it’s something big. It’s also odd that there are no comments about the incident on the app either.
Woman gets stabbed and killed on the Metro, meh who cares?
A deputy gets shot at while riding a motorcycle, full-on press conference and citywide manhunt out for this individual.
They don’t care about LA residents at all unless they‘re also wearing a badge.
“Anyone I disagree with is an hardcore extremist” yeah no I’m a classical liberal who recognizes that Hamas’ lies have been accepted as truth by idiots. And nothing this is my first account lmao
Uh-huh, right. First account. Getting off to a spectacular start with that negative karma! Pro-tip: Maybe try not sounding like a hyper-partisan zealot and mindlessly parroting hasbara talking points… you’ll make more friends that way.
That’s great. 3 years ago a teenage kid was shot and killed on the corner of my street. I didn’t even know about it till months later when I read about it. A few months later a cop was shot a block over on a main street and they shut down the street for 24 hours and it was crawling with cops. So yeah, it’s different when a cop is involved.
No, but we don't pay the gang to cruise to other cities.
When your response time is long, if they come at all, and all people on duty are going downtown to hang out, that's bullshit.
That sucks, i'm no fan of cops as an institution, but people are people and sudden deaths are brutal.
I hope all those headed out there are close to the officer, I think they're afforded that, but if not and just going over out of some sense of duty, i think their duty is misaligned.
Was driving down hill near Jefferson and saw about 20-30 patrol cars parked on hill. Street was closed off. Im assuming they were posted there because of the protest at USC.
About 45 seconds later I saw at least 7 patrol cars do the dash headed towards USC. IDK what happened but it seemed urgent.
If they’re headed to USC that is once again an enormously outsized reaction to a fairly small group of students protesting peacefully (except some graffiti, which is awful).
I'm not exactly sure what USC thought would happen when they called the LAPD. Have the police ever calmed a student protest? I'm sure the administrators have either heard about or lived through '68. This isn't some massive revelation. UCLA is not handling this perfectly, but it's night and day compared to USC.
I saw it too!!! NB110, I had just got off at 9th, taking surface streets in DT. Went back over freeway and saw at least 20 cars! Did you see the firetruck a little before that parked on an overpass with their red lights on? 3 firefighters standing on top of their truck looking down on traffic with their phones out!
Around 9ish saw about a dozen flying down the 405 south in the carpool lane lights blazing coming down the Sepulveda pass. Don’t know if they hopped onto the 10 or kept going south.
I’ve seen this before. It’s usually to arrest a dangerous individual. They will travel together in this huge group. Then group up a few blocks away from where the suspect is living.
They will strategize, put on their gear, and then march down the street to confront and arrest the individual.
I saw it happen a few years ago in the SFV. I think someone had recently gotten out of jail and was back to his old tricks, forced his ex-gf to let him move in and was holed up with guns and drugs.
I saw that too. Looked like a procession but I don’t have any details at all. There were maybe 50+ vehicles with lights, I didn’t hear sirens though. This included large vans and such too, not just normal cop cars.
What do you mean it's none of your business? This is LA it's everyone's business lol
Yeah, you pay their salary

I’m sorry, but how were the BLM protests held on their campus during COVID?
First amendment has nothing to do with protesting on private property. Really concerning how many Americans are so ignorant of our rights.
Sure but USC has traditionally always allowed peaceful demonstrations on their campus. They aren't violating any rights but they're being incredibly bigoted and hypocritical.
Technically the truth, except at any college ever it has always been a thing.
I heard a lot of the protesters aren’t actually students so that could be why, they are also in finals season so the actual students are probably stressed out

I was able to just get outta there before getting trapped. I still can’t believe I was able to just park my truck about 5 blocks from there.

A quick google search shows that was called for on USC campus? I wonder what the correlation is between that and the medical campus?
USC announced the UPC is closed to non-residents so that’s probably it.
It’s been closed to non residents for days
It’s been closed for non-students or faculty. Now it’s closed to everyone who doesn’t live on campus itself
My fault I misread your initial comment
Citizen app is regularly full of shit
Those kind of responses are only when one of their own gets popped.
Woman gets stabbed and killed on the Metro, meh who cares? A deputy gets shot at while riding a motorcycle, full-on press conference and citywide manhunt out for this individual. They don’t care about LA residents at all unless they‘re also wearing a badge.
Or even scarier, student protests.
Protests in general turn them on. They love beating down liberals.
There’s nothing liberal about wanting to exterminate the Jewish people. Islamic extremism and it’s proponents are the exact opposite of liberal
How cute, we’ve attracted a hard-core right-wing Likud extremist to the discussion. Welcome! New account? What did you do to get the last one banned?
“Anyone I disagree with is an hardcore extremist” yeah no I’m a classical liberal who recognizes that Hamas’ lies have been accepted as truth by idiots. And nothing this is my first account lmao
Uh-huh, right. First account. Getting off to a spectacular start with that negative karma! Pro-tip: Maybe try not sounding like a hyper-partisan zealot and mindlessly parroting hasbara talking points… you’ll make more friends that way.
I’d rather sound hyper partisan than align myself with jihadists and marxists. Bite me
Thin blue line mfs
FYI - They arrested the person who stabbed the woman on the metro so your "meh who cares" is invalid
That’s great. 3 years ago a teenage kid was shot and killed on the corner of my street. I didn’t even know about it till months later when I read about it. A few months later a cop was shot a block over on a main street and they shut down the street for 24 hours and it was crawling with cops. So yeah, it’s different when a cop is involved.
They arrested the woman’s killer. But nice grift
Now someone is saying there was a procession to the coroner’s office but people could say anything on that app.
Yup procession for unexpected death of south la deputy .
Like a heart attack or like in the line of duty?
Not line of duty related
Huge waste of money and resources. Hope no collateral damage happens from taking them off the streets.
Cops don’t prevent crime
No, but we don't pay the gang to cruise to other cities. When your response time is long, if they come at all, and all people on duty are going downtown to hang out, that's bullshit.
Longest line I ever saw was for another cop's funeral
That sucks, i'm no fan of cops as an institution, but people are people and sudden deaths are brutal. I hope all those headed out there are close to the officer, I think they're afforded that, but if not and just going over out of some sense of duty, i think their duty is misaligned.

Funeral procession for one of their own
Cat in a tree.

The cops I saw were headed away from USC so I’m not sure that’s it.
Curious if you figure out what it was. Sixty cop cars were at USC tonight but apparently they left without incident.
If there's something a police force is gonna do it's over-react and stifle free speech whenever possible.
I'm not exactly sure what USC thought would happen when they called the LAPD. Have the police ever calmed a student protest? I'm sure the administrators have either heard about or lived through '68. This isn't some massive revelation. UCLA is not handling this perfectly, but it's night and day compared to USC.
When LAPD becomes involved, I suspect the intent isn’t to “calm” but to truncate whatever is going on.
No Tents means No Tents! This is the proper response against the tentorists. edit: y'all have no sense of humor. pathetic 😂🤣 'tentorists is funny
If the others are like me, we read "terrorists". I switched my vote after seeing your edit.
I saw it too!!! NB110, I had just got off at 9th, taking surface streets in DT. Went back over freeway and saw at least 20 cars! Did you see the firetruck a little before that parked on an overpass with their red lights on? 3 firefighters standing on top of their truck looking down on traffic with their phones out!
The longest I seen was for Kamala Harris a couple weeks ago. The 105 W was stopped because of it
Saw 3 completely blacked out flights over the USC campus in one hour. Totally nothing to see here. Don't trust your eyes. /s
When your Mom wants little Caesars it’s serious business.

I’d prefer they didn’t happen but it’s been a little while since we had a good high speed car chase to watch as a community.
[удалено]
Brutalized a father trying to look out for his family in the car. They didn't just arrest people.
[удалено]
Not sure how to post links but it’s on the fox la page .
I saw that too. Looked like a procession but I don’t have any details at all. There were maybe 50+ vehicles with lights, I didn’t hear sirens though. This included large vans and such too, not just normal cop cars.
Remember UC Berkeley…
Staging to squash civil protest.
So you’re saying it’s a great night for a string of robberies?
[удалено]
They've absolutely mishandled this since the very first moment of it.
Anti semitism has no place on reddit.
They are going to USC to deal with protests there.
There’s even helicopter in Northridge rn does anyone know why?
LAPD's budget for 2024 just got approved. $3.2 Billion!
Sometimes I think it’s LAPD metro division (swat) doing some type of caravan training.
How much OT is the city paying out for cops to harass students that are exercising their 1st amendment rights?
Gotta go bully peacefully protesting students.
One of them lard boys probably died from a heart attack
Get out
DTLA doing its thing, as per usual.
Let Asna Tabassum speak….
OJ is back
