“More than 300 officers were called to the scene and were at first slow to directly engage protesters in an attempt to allow a peaceful end to the demonstration. A smaller group of between 100 and 150 people splintered off and began blocking traffic on nearby Crenshaw Boulevard, some of them jumping on cars and breaking windows at liquor stores and fast food outlets. Several protesters ran into a Wal-Mart store, where they knocked down displays before store security chased them out, and police began guarding the door. TV news helicopters showed some people kicking and punching others along the street, including two people sitting on a bus bench.”
