“I think one thing that is very, very important to note is that if you look at the imagery on tv, you would think that there is mass civil unrest all over the city. These are isolated streets within downtown LA. This is not even the entire downtown LA. But the imagery looks as though there is pandemonium here. What has happened is, is that when the night comes, that's when people come out because they're stragglers from a protest that happened many, many hours before.” (03:06–03:14)
