Let’s look at the facts:
DHS claimed there were “about 1,000 rioters,” but Reuters couldn’t independently verify that number. Meanwhile, flash-bangs used against peaceful protesters ignited one of the fires captured in widely shared photos.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.
