Actual Angeleno here. I live less than five miles away from the detention center that the protests started at and are still centered around.

There are definitely a lot more cops on the street and maybe an extra helicopter in the sky compared to normal...but otherwise, everything is normal. There's a reason why most of the news media is showing the same few blocks over and over again in their riot footage, and so much of it is from previous days. The protests are still peaceful.

This deployment of troops is not at all necessary. It's the Trump administration itching for a reaction or an escalation -- anything to distract from the news elsewhere in the world and from Trump's own recent failures.

So as an Angeleno? Stop talking about us. Locals have largely sided with the "don't give them what they want" tactic and protesting peacefully. The best thing the rest of America can do to help is to also deny Trump what he wants, which is attention on L.A. Instead, talk about all the things Trump is trying to distract everyone from in the first place.[/quote]
