“You have to run quickly!” The police are brutally dealing with protests in the USA. “We will not let Donald Trump take our voice”
The 58-year-old was warned at a rally that the police will not hesitate to use tear gas against demonstrators.
– If they spray in the air, then with the sizes of your dogs you have 10 minutes before they die. The birds would die here in three minutes, and you in 30. When it starts, you have to run quickly! Take care of yourself – one of the demonstrating people told her.
– Many of my friends have not come or left their dogs at home because they are afraid of violence – says Leon Alvior
“However, I decided not to be intimidated,” he adds. Just in case, the woman took with her a protective mask, which if necessary was supposed to protect her from smoke and gas. That the police can use tear gas in the West Hollywood park, It was unthinkable for Leona Alvior and her friends.
As soon as the main part ended, the cell phones gathered in West Hollywood began to flow urgent news about new riots in the city center. Leon Alvior's voice staggered for a moment when she looked at the smartphone screen.
While Donald Trump with the participation of a pompous military parade celebrated the 250th anniversary of the American army in Washington, hundreds of thousands of people took the streets throughout the country, taking part in over two thousand. rallies under the slogan “No Kings”.
Activists, including local Civil Rights Defense Groups and trade unions, organized marches to protest against the authoritarian style of the government of the US President and his hard position towards people with unclear migration status.
Police brutality
In Los Angeles itself there were 15 parallel rallies, of which not all of them went calmly. The demonstration in West Hollywood, which took place between playgrounds and parks, was without incidents. However, it was different in the city center.
After two hours, the demonstrators left West Hollywood Park. With waving flags and colorful banners and Melrose Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard towards the houses started. However, there were clashes with the police again in other districts.
Many demonstrators were surprised by the sudden call of order forces to leave the street. When the police fired blinding grenades and used tear gas, some demonstrators started fireworks. They threw bottles and stones towards uniformed officers and They encouraged each other to “maintain position”. Pictures document how the police repel demonstrators, shouting and pulling out a weapon with tear gas.
Gas filled the streets, and everyone who accidentally found themselves nearby was exposed to damage. Rescuers gave help to victims using eyewash liquids.
After the outbreak of violence in Los Angeles, the mayor of the city of Karen Bass took the floor on Saturday. The democrat condemned the riots on the streets of Los Angeles. She added, however, that she learned that It was the police who was the first “in a brutal way” pushed the demonstrators in the city center, which led to a re -explosion of riots in some places.
Who is a hooligan, who is outraged by a demonstrators, and who was accidentally in this place because he wanted to shop or go to a cafe? The border, on which the order forces move on the streets of the Multi -million Los Angeles metropolis, is very thin.
Protests in Los Angeles, June 14, 2025.
The media floods disturbing. They spread the deforestation before crossing the border, which under Trump seems more and more vague. Reactions of rally participants in West Hollywood Park show that Trump's intimidation brings results.
Hollywood openly opposes Trump
However, thanks to his hard and relentless actions, the US president achieved something that in a medium -term perspective can become a problem for him. The nationwide rallies “No Kings” have become a serious social movement aimed at Donald Trump.
As a result of pressure, the US President announced – officially after talks with several American entrepreneurs – that he suspends raids on illegal immigrants, especially in the agricultural and gastronomic sectors important for the economy. He decided to take this step so as not to take away their long -time employees from whom they love very much. “
Marches are no longer driven only by die -hard supporters of democrats, but more and more by ordinary outraged and concerned citizens. Hollywood, which can be seen on a daily basis on the example of proudly waving rainbow flags and posters with the slogan “Resist” (“oppose”)openly occurs against the US President and is not going to give up.
At least, that's what Leon Alvior and her friends perceive it. “We won't let Trump take our voice,” says Alvior. However, the woman wonders whether she should leave dogs at home next time.
