Trump Supporters Clash Against Counter-Protestors in Sunland-Tujunga, Leading to Altercations and Dispersal by Rubber Bullets
[dropcap size=big]O[/dropcap]n Friday at 4:30 PM, at Fehlaber-Houk Park, about 75 counter-protesters assembled to meet up and confront vocal Trump supporters at 6420 Foothill Boulevard. On this spot, counter-protesters and Trump allies have been clashing for the last several weeks.
More counter-protesters joined the group as they marched towards the Trump supporters. Soon after that, altercations began. First, insults were exchanged, which led to pushing and shoving, and eventually, after being backed into the In N Out parking lot, one Trump supporter began spraying pepper spray.
The police intervened and declared it an unlawful assembly. They separated the two groups but not before firing rubber bullets into the crowd chanting Black Lives Matter. BLM advocates spoke with law enforcement and committed to leaving peacefully under the contingency that Trump supporters left first.
The final demonstration count was in the hundreds.
