Overnight Sunday and into Monday morning, the Los Angeles police officers were occupied with dispersing multiple street takeovers that resulted in car burnings, a sheared fire hydrant, and incidents of looting.

Around 4 a.m. on Monday, the intersection of Manchester Avenue and Normandie was taken over by approximately 300 individuals. Upon arrival, authorities discovered that a car had been set ablaze.
