Motorcycle cops and the riot begins....

Immediately after the last video, I begin to film the LAPD who come south on Alvarado on motorcycles. Their method of clearing the street is to drive head on with people, threatening to run them over. You can see them nearly hit a protestor on the right side of the street who is right next to the sidewalk.

Immediately after this, the protestors begin to freak out. You can still hear the girl from the previous video screaming about the guy getting beat. Then someone smashes in the glass of a bus stop and all hell breaks loose. People start running, screaming, breaking glass, and causing general mayhem. You can hear a guy (who had been filming next to me this whole time) yell at a guy who was trying to break open a newspaper stand: "What are you doing?" I heard this many, many times throughout the mini-riot.
