Video shows police in LA pulling out protesters to detain
Footage shared with CNN on Wednesday night shows Los Angeles police pulling people out from the crowd of protesters to be detained.
The video, provided by non-profit news organization CalMatters, showed police confronting protesters in and around Koreatown, about 3 miles from the curfew zone that went into effect at 8 p.m. Pacific Time.
It showed officers walking toward a group of protesters, taking hold of one person and escorting them away with their hands held behind their back.
In another video, several officers are seen running toward a different group, shouting: “Get back, get back!” as they detain another individual.
Earlier on Wednesday night, a CNN reporter on the ground witnessed protesters driving through an area where the curfew does not apply — heading in the direction of Koreatown.
Videos shot by CNN show a line of cars honking loudly, with some passengers leaning out the window or standing upright on truck beds waving Mexican and American flags. Some protesters are seen walking on foot.
The curfew currently in place only covers about 1 square mile in area in Downtown Los Angeles where the protests had been concentrated.
