Sacramento police make arrests after officers attacked – confiscate bottle of urine and smoke bomb

Sacramento police make arrests after officers attacked – confiscate bottle of urine and smoke bomb 1

SACRAMENTO, CA– The ways that officers are being attacked are becoming more and more disgusting.

In the wake of the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake, 29, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the city of Sacramento saw three straight nights of protests against law enforcement.

The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) announced that at least two people were arrested on August 29th, during Saturday night’s protests. One individual was taken into custody for pointing a laser into an officer’s eyes and another for resisting officers.

Police confiscated a bottle of urine, gas masks, and a smoke bomb for the two protesters that were arrested.

Over the weekend, authorities reported that there were also isolated incidents of vandalism, including graffiti on a bail bonds office that read, “Police are domestic terrorists.”

CBS Sacramento reported that on Friday, August 28th, Antifa Sacramento was the group that led demonstrations for that night.

The protest was planned for 8 p.m. and protesters were seen gathering in Cesar Chavez Park and allegedly for the first half-hour it remained peaceful. However, multiple buildings ended up being vandalized.

The following night, August 29th, there were additional buildings with graffiti on them as well as some damage to some buildings.

Some windows at the Sacramento Music Circus were reportedly broken.

According to reports, police were able to quickly stop a man who started swinging a sword at some members of the crowd. No one was hurt in the incident.

On Thursday, August 27th, which seems to be the night that started the destructive protests, several buildings including the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney’s Officer had several windows broken and the walls were covered in graffiti.

On Saturday, August 29th, Mayor Steinberg tweeted out a response to the protests taking place:

“The last two nights have been challenging for our city. Any damage to public and private buildings is wrong, but it is also important to have a perspective, especially where other cities have experienced injuries, deaths, and large scale destruction.”

According to authorities, the groups of protesters that caused damage and vandalized buildings were not affiliated with the more “peaceful” groups that demonstrated earlier each day.

ABC 10 reported that on Friday, August 28th, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones requested the National Guard to deploy after the first night of protests when protesters tried to set the district attorney’s office on fire.

Sacramento wasn’t the only California city to see violent protests over the weekend. Authorities reported that in Oakland rioters threw harmful projectiles and flashed lasers at police during Saturday’s protest. Police also reported that some protesters were throwing rocks and using shields to assault officers.”

Several arrests were made after the county courthouse and several local businesses were vandalized. No officers were injured during the violent protesting.

Prior to the nights of destructive protesting, in a series of tweets, the Oakland Police Department (OPD) asked that protest organizers help law enforcement provide a safe space for demonstrations.

Instead, there were reports of violence and civil unrest as the demonstrations began. One of OPD’s tweets said:

“Some people in the crowd are setting fire to garbage cans and breaking windows along Broadway.”

Police also said that agitators in the crowd also attempted to set fire to a business, set off illegal fireworks, and then threw them at the officers. 

OPD remained active on Twitter throughout the several nights of protests, reaffirming their support for demonstrations, but also pleading with crowds to keep it peaceful, safe, and legal.

Within one hour of police putting up barricades so that protesters had safe spaces for their demonstrations, agitators in the crowds were breaking windows, lighting trash cans on fire, and yelling, “Burn it down.”

Here is another article from Law Enforcement Today about the violent protests taking place in Kenosha, WI:

KENOSHA, WI – Riots continue to rage in Kenosha in the aftermath of an officer-involved shooting of knife-wielding, wanted criminal Jacob Blake.

Since the shooting Sunday, Kenosha has exploded with violence and destruction, with massive fires, property damage, vicious assaults, and murder.

The riots show no signs of stopping, and, if anything, the violent actors appear to be doubling down, targeting their hate not only against police but against this country as well.

Townhall reporter Julio Rosas was on scene at the Kenosha riots last night and shared video of violent actions and prevailing sentiments on the part of the “protesters.”

In one video depicting people marching, a woman can be seen shrieking:

“Kill the f***ing police!  Kill them back!  Kill them back for taking us!” 

In his next upload, Rosas showed an American flag set afire to a chorus of whoops and cries of “Yeah!”

A woman can be heard screaming:

“Death to America!”

The burning flag can be seen flung over a protective fence around Kenosha County Courthouse while one rioter kicks the fence.

The next video shows rioters kicking, pushing and throwing themselves at the swaying fence.

Rosas’ next upload shows rioters screaming expletives and throwing projectiles at law enforcement stationed behind the fence, protecting the courthouse.

The night took an explosive turn as rioters hurled fireworks at law enforcement.

Even after being driven back by police, the rioters appeared undeterred in their efforts to injure police and National Guard with fireworks.

Confrontations between rioters and armed citizens protecting businesses ensued, with one woman shouting:

“You guys are f***ing Klan!  All they ass is f***ing Klan!”

Circumstances suggest that lessening of the violence isn’t likely any time soon, even though Jacob Blake’s family has requested that demonstrations be non-violent.

Indeed, it appears that those who speak for BLM’s presence in Kenosha may want nothing short of the dismantling of police departments as a response to the riots. 

Karissa Lewis, national field director of Movement for Black Lives, called the Blake shooting:

“Yet another example of why activists have called for defunding police departments.”

Lewis told ABC News:

“There’s no amount of training or reform that can teach a police officer that it’s wrong to shoot a Black man in the back seven times while his children watch.”

Activist Shaun King added in a tweet regarding Kenosha:

“Nah. I’m not going to call for peace. We’ve tried peace. For years. Y’all don’t understand that language.

“We are calling for a complete dismantling of American policing. It’s NOT broken. It was built to work this way. And mayhem is the consequence. You earned it.”

Local officials do not seem to be too keen on supporting the police while waiting for all the facts of the Blake case to be known.

Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said after the shooting:

“While we do not have all of the details yet, what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.

“We stand with all those who have and continue to demand justice, equity, and accountability for Black lives in our country.”

Evers declined offers for additional law enforcement assistance with the riots, instead asking for additional help for COVID matters.

Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes echoed these sentiments, saying:

“And let me be clear, this was not an accident. This wasn’t bad police work. This felt like some sort of vendetta being taken out on a member of our community.”

Barnes added:

“But the irony isn’t lost on me that Jacob Blake was actually trying to de-escalate a situation in his community, but the responding officer didn’t feel the need to do the same.”

Barnes went on to say:

“As I’ve said before, as we’ve all said before, this is familiar violence to too many of us, especially those of us who are on the receiving end, whose communities have been over-policed.

“If we don’t do anything, this will continue. That’s why we have to respond.”

As we previously reported, on a national level, Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden was quick to condemn police but made no similar condemnation of Kenosha’s violent rioters.

Violence. Arson. Explosions. Anarchy.

Death threats to police … and in shouted words reminiscent of foreign terrorists, death threats to America.

With local and national support for law and order lacking, and riots continuing unabated, the future does not look good for Kenosha.

Here is our previous report on some of the heinous violence in Kenosha:

KENOSHA, WI – As Kenosha explodes in anarchy after police shot an armed criminal who had resisted arrest, the violence in the city is hitting levels that can only be described as shocking.

On Monday night, an elderly man was attacked while trying to put the fire out inside his charitable business.

On August 25, a video was uploaded to social media showing the burning area of what was once known as Kenosha, Wisconsin.  This area, like Seattle, Portland, and many others, has been turned into something that looks like a war zone.

The video shows people running, shouting, and breaking windows. It also shows one lone elderly man coming through the smoke carrying a fire extinguisher. The woman who is recording the video says:

“This poor man got his house, business caught on fire.” 

The business she was referring to has been identified as the Danish Brotherhood Lodge, #14. 

Its website describes itself as:

“An organization dedicated to charitable endeavors both locally and nationally. We strive to provide our members a place of belonging, security, and support. … Our organization is dedicated to both growing and developing our membership and providing scholarships for future generations to advance their education. … We encourage the public to join us in our mission to better the community around us!” 

Sounds like a good place to target, right?

The video shows that the woman who is recording obviously feels bad and keeps telling the elderly man:

“I’m sorry sir, I’m sorry sir, I’m very sorry about that man.” 

The elderly man says, “Yeah right,” then she tells him that she had nothing to do with it.

The video shows the elderly man walking with the fire extinguisher and trying to put the flames out. While doing so, someone from the crowd begins throwing and hitting him with bottles. 

With little to defend himself, he turns the fire extinguisher on the assailant, forcing the assailant away from him, then returns to trying to put out the fire.

The video then shows what appears to be people fleeing from inside the charitable organization, perhaps after looting. 

The elderly man is able to chase a couple of them off with the fire extinguisher, then returns to the front of the store. While his back is turned, some cowardly thug runs up and punches him (or strikes him with something) with his left hand. 

The cowardly thug is dressed in a black shirt and black shorts.

The cowardly thug flees as the woman recording keeps yelling “No!” and runs to the elderly man’s aid as he collapses on the ground. People rush to assist him, bleeding from his head, while a crowd starts to form.

The woman who is recording starts yelling that the elderly man did not “deserve any of this.”  She continues:

“This is just wrong guys. Do you not see this? This is wrong. This is what’s gonna happen to every one of you … please guys.”

The woman’s pleas are answered by a member of the crowd of criminal looters and rioters, who says that beating the elderly man is them “trying to protect ourselves.”  The member continues:

“You don’t understand what terrifies these black men out here, they not making it home to their families. Understand, respect, how about that? It’s called respect.”

According to a tweet from @Simulation Warlord, tthe victim was approximately 70 years of age and suffered a black eye and broken jaw from the attack. However, Law Enforcement Today cannot confirm this information.

LET has attempted to call and email the Danish Brotherhood Lodge. So far, there has been no response to our attempts.
