LAPD isn't even involved yet. This is a needless escalation


According to the linked article on <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44214230>, they’ve already been involved:

> The response to the protests drew a conflict between ICE and the Los Angeles Police Department. "Our brave officers were vastly outnumbered, as over 1000 rioters surrounded and attacked a federal building," said ICE in a statement. "It took over two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department to respond, despite being called multiple times."

> But the LAPD said that, "Contrary to the claim that LAPD delayed its response for over two hours, our personnel mobilised and acted as swiftly as conditions safely allowed."
