Los Angeles police clashed with hundreds of protesters on Wednesday as officers moved in to close Echo Park's massive homeless encampment, according to authorities.
"Two unlawful assemblies were declared and dispersal orders were issued ... due to officers being assaulted with rocks, bottles, and smoke bombs," the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) wrote on Twitter. Others decided to leave as police officers in helmets and batons moved in and told demonstrators to clear the area, according to the Los Angeles Times.More Related News
