Earlier in the day a police vehicle was set on fire. An act of vandalism reporters have cited as a turning point in the day's activities."You are burning cars, you have defaced the CNN building. Ted Turner started CNN in Atlanta 40 years ago because he believed in who we are as a city. ... They are telling our stories and you are disgracing their building," Bottoms said in a televised interview.
Others who had surrounded CNN's headquarters, smashed the building's windows and sprayed graffiti on the network's logo.Los Angeles crowd descends on uniformed officerAt one point, an officer grabbed a male activist in an attempt to restrain him. But after a brief tussle, a throng of protesters pulled the officer to the ground. They descended on the uniformed officer, kicking and hitting him with protest signs. Eventually, a man in civilian clothing pulled him out of the melee.
