Violent protest erupts in San Diego: Officer hit in head with cane, others punched and attacked

Violent protest erupts in San Diego: Officer hit in head with cane, others punched and attacked 1

SAN DIEGO, CA – An officer-involved shooting that took place a few days ago in Kenosha, Wisconsin has caused civil unrest to erupt in large cities across the country, including San Diego.

On Monday night, during a downtown protest, a San Diego officer was hit in the head with a cane and several others were violently punched. 

The San Diego Police Department tweeted about the incident that took place just before 8 p.m. According to the tweet, a group of 50 to 55 people was protesting the Kenosha incident outside police headquarters.

At one point, the protesters blocked the entrance/exit driveways, keeping people from exiting or entering.

Police said that a megaphone was utilized to give protesters several warnings to let officers in and out of the headquarters, but protesters did not listen.

In an attempt to get protesters to disperse, officers moved forward to clear the entrance/exit driveways. During this time, an officer was hit in the head with a cane and several other officers were punched by protesters refusing to move out of the way.

Police said that one arrest was made for the assault on the officer with a cane and two other arrests were made for resisting/obstructing officers.

According to reports, social media posts went out to spread the word about Monday’s downtown protest.

The posts called for demonstrators to “show your solidarity with Kenosha” at SDPD headquarters.

By nightfall, the crowd of demonstrators had grown close to 100 people. Protestors held signs that said, “Black Lives Matter” and “Melanin is not a weapon.” Police said that the large group dispersed around 11 p.m.

Other reports said that the protest initially started around 5 p.m. and that it was to be one of two protests being held in San Diego prompted by the Wisconsin shooting.

A smaller gathering of protesters happened Monday evening in front of Escondido City Hall. 

Protests in Kenosha continued for a second night straight. According to reports, multiple buildings burned as protests turned violent, with the epicenter near Civic Center Park.

Protesters verbally insulted officers as well as threw harmful objects such as frozen full water bottles at the officers.

Members of the community watched their own businesses go up in flames. Scott Carpenter said he watched his family business, B&L Furniture, smothered in flames on social media on Monday night. He said:

“We didn’t deserve this. The other businesses that were set on fire, they didn’t deserve that.”

Edward West, another Kenosha resident said:

“I can understand the anger, but this right here is ridiculous. Tearing up our own community.”

In addition to local businesses being set on fire, protesters lit a truck and a Wisconsin Department of Corrections building on fire. According to authorities, the National Guard was deployed in Kenosha County to help protect critical infrastructure and assist in maintaining public safety and the ability of individuals to peacefully protest.

The protests reportedly began around 9 p.m. Hundreds of people showed up to “peacefully” protest. As night fell, the protests became more violent and the number of protesters dwindled. Police said that once night fell, people started dumpster and trash fires, broke windows, and looted businesses. 

Police said that people threw rocks, bottles, and other projectiles at the officers during the course of the night. Six people were arrested, including one person armed with a handgun.

Here is another article from Law Enforcement Today about the violent protests happening in large cities across the nation:

LOS ANGELES, CA – Violent protests, which have become a nightly occurrence in Portland, Oregon for over two months, have now moved to other cities, including Los Angeles. 

As to the mainstream media’s reporting of these violent protests, the sheer incompetence of the mainstream media knows no bounds. You continually see people such as Brian Stelter, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon on CNN mocking reports that are clearly available from multiple sources showing anarchy taking place in our big cities.

They call riots “peaceful protests.” They have literally laughed as Americans, a large number of them black, are getting slaughtered in our major cities. Yet, nobody aside from a few conservative media sites has called them out.

And they wonder why they are referred to as fake news? 

On Saturday evening, Fox LA was reporting that at least three people were injured during “peaceful protests,” which of course were actually violent confrontations with police, in the midst of multiple demonstrations in downtown Los Angeles.

The three injured persons were all taken to local hospitals for treatment, according to a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, Margaret Stewart. The riots – because let’s call them what they are – forced LAPD to declare a tactical alert, mobilizing officers in response to the attacks on federal buildings downtown.

Breitbart News reported that several federal buildings had suffered vandalism and had their windows smashed. Rioters also blocked traffic in the area.

Bill Melugin of Fox LA reported from the scene, retweeting video from someone on scene who reported that Black Lives Matter, Antifa and Revolutionary Communists were partaking in the violence.

But remember, this is only about “systemic racism,” right?

According to the Los Angeles Times:

“Los Angeles police issued a citywide tactical alert Saturday night in response to protests downtown, allowing the department to have more officers and resources available.

“Sgt. Anthony Costello said there had not been any major problems with a majority of the crowd, but that there were some isolated incidents of vandalism, including some broken windows and graffiti at the federal building downtown.

“According to several media reports, demonstrators organized the protests in response to federal agents being sent to Portland, Ore., to put down nightly protests that began two months ago following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.”

Breitbart noted correctly that the Times had neglected to mention in its report that the Portland protests have grown increasingly violent, with the federal courthouse in that city being the target of repeated nightly attacks by violent anarchists, who have also attempted to set the building on fire.

The riots have resulted in numerous law enforcement officers being injured after being attacked by the rioting anarchists. Federal officers are not, as the Times said, sent to Portland to “put down nightly protests,” but rather to protect federal property, in particular because Portland’s feckless, incompetent mayor and City Council have refused to protect those properties.

Democrats have joined the “three blind mice” at CNN in refusing to call the violent riots for what they are, and instead have turned to name-calling of federal law enforcement officers, referring to them as Nazi “Gestapo” and stormtroopers, as well as “Trump’s secret police.”

On Friday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany struck back at that narrative, playing a montage of video at her Friday press briefing which showed the violence in Portland.

That meant nothing to the mainstream media, who are trying to maintain their narrative to the sheep that these are “peaceful protests.” The only major news network to air the footage was Fox News, which cut away when profanity appeared onscreen.

Breitbart said that on Friday, gutless Democratic LA Mayor Eric Garcetti expressed his support for the Portland “protests,” saying that they “represent the best of our democratic ideals.”

He joined the parade of the blind, denying the Portland incidents had been violent while saying “individual acts” did not define the whole.

In Los Angeles, rioters smashed windows and spray-painted graffiti at the Metropolitan Detention Center and threw objects at responding officers during a confrontation at the federal courthouse.

There were two separate incidents on Saturday in front of City Hall, one organized by a group called Refuse Fascism (have you noticed these anti-fascist groups are the biggest fascists out there?), the other was organized by the Youth Liberation Front.

Be proud, educators of America. This is what you have borne.

In the case of the Youth Liberation Front, it was part of more than 30 demonstrations nationwide in support of the rioters in Portland.

During the tactical alert, Los Angeles police officers remained on duty past the end of their scheduled shifts, with numerous officers sent to the downtown incident.

The creative protesters held homemade signs made out of things such as “boogie boards” and Amazon packaging which read:

“SAY THEIR NAMES”

“BLACK LIVES ARE LOVED” 

“COPS ARE BAD MMKAY”

As we said, they are a creative lot.

Many of the rioters carried black flags, some just blank and at least one with the Anarchist letter “A.” The protest had remained somewhat peaceful, FOX LA said, until it reached the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Once there, however, the “peaceful protest” deteriorated into the usual Antifa-sponsored anarchy, with some rioters smashing windows, kicking in windows, smashing them with a skateboard and spraying all manner of graffiti in the area.

One tag on the building read, “Building the new world today” with the anarchist “A” underneath. But hey, this is about George Floyd’s death, black lives, and systemic racism, right?

The crowd was estimated at about 150 people by Lt. John Cook of LAPD’s Northeast Division. After leaving the detention facility, they then headed toward the U.S. District Court building. They then started to throw rocks and water bottles at the front doors, whereupon some LAPD officers arrived to a sea of objects being thrown at them.

Officers then removed less-lethal weapons and aimed in the direction of the rioters. One nonlethal round was fired into the crowd, according to FOX-LA.

Police attempted to detain at least three people. One female rioter who was taken to the ground managed to grab one of the officer’s nonlethal weapon as he sought to detain her. One officer fired a nonlethal round into the crowd.

According to Sgt. Luis Contreras, the firing of nonlethal rounds under circumstances such as this was a normal response to being accosted by such a violent crowd. He said:

“We got hit by rocks and bottles and screwdrivers, and they busted that glass — that’s why. We tried not to. We weren’t going to, but it just got too dangerous.”

If you’re looking to find out what is really going on in America, do not watch CNN. While America is burning, the clown show consisting of Stelter, Cuomo and Lemon is having quite a laugh about it. Tone-deaf doesn’t even come close to describing these three.
