Last night was funny because the LAPD was issuing dueling official statements saying that ALL PROTESTS WERE PEACEFUL AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED while simultaneously declaring unlawful assemblies and shooting people with tear gas.
These statements went out AT THE SAME TIME. pic.twitter.com/FcFM1h9fKR

Note – the two statements were from two different departments – LAPD and LASD. What was happening in Paramount is outside of the City of LA, thus it was the LASD that was dealing with the rioters there, not the LAPD.
