CNN was claiming not too many hours ago the situation in Los Angeles was "mostly peaceful."
That was nonsense. But it's has to be bad when even CNN acknowledges that things have "taken a turn" and there's a problem. Now, they're no longer just calling them "protests," but "incursions" and "violent."
🚨ABOUT TIME — CNN says that the riots have “taken a turn” for the worse.

They're still trying to give some of the leftists a pass as "peaceful," while acknowledging there are violent ones. They also note the anarchists and the pro-"Palestinian" radicals who are in this crowd as well.
What they don't say is that the anarchists are a part of most radical leftist protests. It's not a bug, it's a feature. The cause may vary but the same leftists are generally involved in all the different issues. The real "cause" is chaos and driving things left.
CNN mentioned the Waymo vehicles. Rioters were acquiring Waymos, then setting them on fire and destroying them. They also lit an American flag on fire.

Still no police or firefighter response to the fires. Things are quickly escalating.

This will likely be an iconic video; many of the people can be seen waving foreign flags as they create chaos and violence.

You can hear someone announcing on a speaker that this is "going to take this country by storm." No, you're not.
They're pelting police with rocks from an overpass.
Police cruisers continue to be pelted by large rocks as officers take shelter in the underpass.

Be prepared to be put down by the National Guard, kids, because they're coming.
The rioters even had a box of masks delivered.

But this is how emboldened they're feeling now. There was a guy waving around the "head" of Trump, while holding a foreign flag and wearing a mask. Given all the people Joe Biden let across the border, who knows who any of these folks actually are. Cam Higby got the video, but there's a problem in the embedding process, so here's the link to it.
This is a developing situation, so expect more coverage at RedState.
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."
