Things are getting crazier in Los Angeles.
We reported earlier about how the National Guard was called out by President Trump. There were some at the federal detention center in Los Angeles, where Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) harassed them earlier.
National Guard Troops Surging Into LA
But then there were reports from LAPD declaring a city tactical alert, and reports of violence in the area of the detention center.
Warning for graphic language in the following videos:
Officers are reporting that people in the crowd are throwing concrete, bottles and other objects. Arrests are being initiated.

A DISPERSAL ORDER has been issued for the area of Alameda and Temple.
Those at Alameda and Temple must leave the area.
Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse. pic.twitter.com/DYN5NnuXjn

That looks like "187" on one of the signs, which is slang for "murder."
This video was the most disturbing to me because it was not clear if the reported law enforcement agents made it through the mob, as their vehicle was swarmed and attacked by dozens of people.
A law enforcement SUV just drove through a dense crowd of people on Alameda near Temple. I saw an officer appear to shoot a "less-lethal" firearm from the SUV. Protesters threw bottles at the truck and surrounded it. @LATACO pic.twitter.com/DEcndhy85K

They also shut down part of a major L.A. artery, the 101 Freeway. You can see a large response to disperse them.

They might need more National Guard troops, with all the crazies in Los Angeles. Hopefully, they can put this down, but it's on Mayor Bass and the other local Dem officials who didn't shut this insanity down earlier.
Editor's Note: President Trump isn't going to allow lawlessness to reign in America. We will not have a repeat of 2020's "Summer of Love."
