Over the years. Again, im not a Law Enforcement tactician, but it is strange that how long we have waited here and decisionmaking protocols a part of that. The unfolding situation as they discover more intelligence about the way the encampment is set up, what if any weapons are in the encampment. Law enforcement are confused as to why this is taking so long. That is the bottom line. Its taking a long time. More than 24 hours since we saw a riot in that very spot take place and nothing in effect has been done since then. Todd were all confused. Jonathan hunt, thank you. 2 01 pacific time. This is thursday morning, you are looking live at campus of ucla, right now lapd and california Highway Patrol are c confronting protesters on the campus of ucla.

been informed about the fact that a few thousand people were due to come to make a statement about the coronavirus policy. it was agreed to give space to this demonstration even though it was not reported formally to the authorities. unfortunately, the police had to conclude quite quickly that these people had no peaceful intentions. their intention was to riot, challenge the police, destroy public property, set fire to scooters and erect barricades. this meant the police had to scale up their presence. police units from all over the country were brought in. as we speak, there are eight riot police units in rotterdam. that is about 400 officers, excluding arrest teams and officers on horseback, so that is quite a strong police presence. the police have been attacked by rioters. on several occasions, the police officers had to draw their weapons to defend themselves. some aimed shots were fired and people got hurt as a result. as far as we know, now seven people were injured.
