What started as peaceful protesting took a disastrous turn in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday when demonstrators poured onto the 101 Freeway, leading to violent clashes with law enforcement, injuries, arrests, vandalism, fires and more.
Amongst the ongoing chaos, at least one KTLA van was seen being tagged with graffiti live on air.
With dark plumes of smoke still filling the air above downtown as of 6 p.m., at least five Waymos were seen either still engulfed by flames or charring after being set ablaze by protesters on North Los Angeles Street near Arcadia Street.
The destruction led the Los Angeles Police Department to indefinitely close Los Angeles Street north of Arcadia and south of Alameda streets and declare an unlawful assembly for the entire area, ordering crowds to disperse.
