Rioters wearing masks makes it difficult for law enforcement to disperse violent protests in LA

 


President Donald Trump and his administration have made multiple arrests to stem the six-day anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

FOX LA, live on Monday, captured live footage of a truck unloading and distributing what appeared to be thousands of dollars' worth of professional riot gear—specifically, high-tech bionic face shields—to violent protesters.

According to Fox LA reporter Elex Michaelson, the masks being distributed to protesters were identified as Uvex bionic face shields. These shields are typically used by machinists and sheet metal workers to protect themselves from chemical splashes and flying debris.

However, rioters have repurposed them as protection against police riot gas, making it difficult for law enforcement to disperse violent demonstrations and restore order.
