(INTELLIHUB) — Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department clashed with unruly Antifa protesters on Saturday in an all-out melee.
Helmeted and masked thugs engaged police in a hand-to-hand skirmish that took a turn for the worst, forcing police to crack skulls. During the back and forth, police using billy clubs managed to senselessly beat several Antifa over the heads as Real America’s Voice reporter Drew Hernandez captured the entire debacle on video.

Putting the situation in perspective, investigative reporter Brendan Gutenschwager managed to film the fight from another angle, which he posted to his Twitter soon after.

During the match, Antifa deployed a smoke canister to break up the action between protesters and police as a defensive measure.
“Watch out, watch out.” says a man’s voice. “They got smoke.”

Several dozen LAPD officers arrived at the scene on a truck, ready to report for duty. Department higher-ups would rather be safe than sorry in this type of situation, deploying more force than necessary as a precaution.

Authorities issued an SMS “emergency alerts” message notifying people in the area of Willshire and Rampart that “an unlawful assembly was declared.” The message made it clear that police would arrest anyone in the area.

Police shot one protester at close range with less-lethal ammunition reminding him who’s boss.

It’s safe to say that the LAPD is fed up with Antifa.
