00:00To me, it just seems like this is intentional chaos.

00:05You know, I had talked to representatives of the Trump administration earlier on to

00:09tell them that the Los Angeles Police Department could control things that were happening here

00:15and that there was no need to federalize troops.

00:18And so to have this here is really just a provocation and something that was not needed

00:24in our city.

00:26It is most important that everybody be allowed to exercise their First Amendment right, but

00:33it absolutely has to be done peacefully.

00:36Now with federal troops on the ground, we do not need to have our city under siege.

00:42I remember the last time federal troops were on the ground here and it was in 1992 when

00:47there was massive civil unrest.

00:49Nothing like that is happening here.
