The scale of clashes between protesters in Los Angeles, USA, and the National Guard personnel and police deployed there continues to expand. On the evening of June 8, local time, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell said at a press conference that the city of Los Angeles originally had the capability to control the situation, but the federal government's deployment of the National Guard completely bypassed the local sheriff system and the regular chain of command, with orders being directly issued by the President, leading to the National Guard being taken over by the federal government. However, McDonnell also stated that the situation in Los Angeles is now out of control, with acts of violence being appalling, and even some individuals using potentially lethal fireworks to attack the police. The Los Angeles Police Department has urgently adjusted its tactical deployment, vowing to bring the rioters to justice. (CCTV International News)
