Los Angeles ABC7 News anchor Marc Brown, during his live commentary on the Los Angeles riots, said police should not escalate their action as that would lead to a major confrontation and the situation could turn very volatile. “If you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation of altercation between officers and demonstrators,” Brown said. MAGA commentators could not believe that a journalist could describe the riots like this. “ABC News wants you to know what is happening in California isn’t a violent riot. It’s ‘just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.’ — ABC 7’s Marc Brown,” one wrote posting the viral video. “It’s not 2020 anymore. The media needs to come to grips with that fact. This will not end well,” another said. “You don’t hate the media enough,” a third user said.

The demonstrations began Friday outside the Federal Building against the ICE raids across the city. The protests escalated Sunday as Donald Trump called to “bring in the troops”. California Dem Governor Gavin Newsom called Trump’s decision illegal and immoral and threatened to sue the administration. He also asked Trump’s border czar Tom Homan to arrest him. The riots put the immigration issue into focus once again as many of those involved were carrying Mexican flags.White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller doubled down on the riots and said this is the proof of what happens when there is mass migration. “Believe it or not, California used to be a paradise. Mass migration has brought use where we are now,” Miller wrote.“Los Angeles is all the proof you need that mass migration unravels societies. You can have all the other plans and budgets you want. If you don’t fix migration, then nothing else can be fixed — or saved,” Miller wrote in another post. “California is the largest sanctuary state in America. The state has ordered every police department and sheriffs office in the state not to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, even if they have committed grievous crimes. Illegals are given free welfare, healthcare and every other conceivable state benefit. They are made immune in every way. Simply put, the government of the State of California aided, abetted and conspired to facilitate the invasion of the United States,” he wrote.
