An LAPD police officer put himself right in the middle of a demonstration on the Sunset Strip with hundreds of demonstrators surrounding him. Instead of using a weapon or teargas, he used his bullhorn to speak to the crown. When someone in the crowd took a knee, the cop followed suit.
The simple action was met with a roar of approval and the officer used to opportunity to say he and the crowd were one and the same. He then asked the crowd to return to their homes so everyone would be safe, he even assured them that police would not interfere with their exit.
The same thing later happened a few miles inland when the Sheriff of Riverside County also took a knee.
