Federal overreaction is a show. The area of the Los Angeles curfew is 1 square mile (LA is 503 sq. miles see below). Media estimates of protestors hundreds to thousands varying on time. With over 3,000 armed law enforcement means almost 1 for every protestor. This show of force is just nuts!

Have they forgotten they thought the same thing in 2020 ?

Which is why I am certain that much of the chaos will be due to MAGAts masquerading as protesters, just as they did during the Floyd/BLM protests.
