The Armenian American Museum Young Leaders Council in Glendale, CA. December 13th - 15th at 7:00 PM. Call: (818) 926-8108 LAPD dispersing protest in Van Nuys
Monday, June 1, 2020
Police declared an unlawful assembly and began dispersing the crowd at a protest in Van Nuys Monday.
The crowd of several hundred had been protesting mostly peacefully for hours at an intersection in Van Nuys. Most people were standing on the sidewalks, but some spilled over into the street and were walking between cars.
At one point, dozens in the crowd started running, apparently startled by a loud noise or disturbance. But there were no apparent injuries.
Police appeared to be taking no chances given the unrest around Southern California in recent days linked to protests. By around 3 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department had declared an unlawful assembly, the first step toward dispersing the crowd.
As police began breaking up the crowd, there were scattered reports of looting nearby on Van Nuys Boulevard.
Police were seen running after several individuals on foot.
The protest, like many around the country, was a reaction to the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.
