What happened

Teen ‘No Kings’ rioter caught on camera hurling object at officers before arrest for assault with a deadly weapon Shocking footage captured chaotic scenes following violent “No Kings” protests in downtown Los Angeles when a teen rioter brazenly hurled an…

Why it matters

Newly released video from the Los Angeles Police Department showed the actions of an unidentified 17-year-old agitator on the night of March 28, the same day violent protests erupted for the anti-Trump demonstration.

Common ground

While officers were attempting to arrest an individual at the protest, the teen attacker tried to free the person by dragging him away from police before running off, the LAPD said.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
