Arresting protesters for protesting is illegal however if they commit crimes such as vandalism, theft, trespassing, or assault during the protest then they can be legally arrested

Trespassing, vandalism, entering with intent to harm, credible threats, looting all under Jan 6th.

Thank God these riots don’t have trespassing, vandalism, looting or threats. Or else we’d be in trouble

Did you miss "and murder"? There's no murder here.

Really glad there have been no looting videos uploaded online as of late with these protests

And lighting cars on fire, and throwing bricks at cop cars, and looting businesses. I agree that the people not being violent shouldn’t be arrested but if you start destroying shit then it’s just like what did you expect to happen. Also the (very liberal) LA mayor declared a state of emergency so clearly something other than peaceful protests are happening

Looting from the rich and greedy shouldn't be a crime.

The mayor I think just wants people to stay safe with the mass police presence who are causing more problems than solving.

Throwing bricks at people and lighting cars on fire in the streets isn’t exactly peaceful

It's honestly a minority of cases. Doesn't justify the police presence and possibly for harm being done to people.

“You have more than me so I should be allowed to destroy your place of business and steal everything”. Yeah that sounds perfectly reasonable 🙄

Looting from mega corporations who give nothing to citizens should be legal. Ever heard of socialism?

Police presence is 100% justified when people are in danger

The only people that are in danger are the people that the police are policing. Cops shoot people for no reason constantly.

Socialism, while I don’t agree with it, is a legitimate form of government policy. What you’re suggesting isn’t socialism, it’s anarchy

I’d love to see all the police just leave LA. The city would collapse in a week

They don't pay their fair share. Taking it is the only way to make them. That's not anarchy. Anarchy would be taking what you need and burning the building down.

So what you’re just gonna storm in and steal shit. That just causes prices to increase or the business might just leave the area where the looting is happening. All that does is hurt the surrounding community while doing minimal damage to the business owners who don’t need the money they’re losing
