“One square mile (2.5 square kilometers) of the city’s more-than-500 square mile area were set to be off-limits between 8pm and 6am for everyone apart from residents, journalists and emergency services, she added.”

"Police arrested 25 people on suspicion of violating the curfew as of Tuesday evening, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing an LAPD spokesperson.
The number of arrests was likely to rise as law enforcement worked to remove the remaining protesters from the area, the newspaper said."

“Overnight Monday 23 businesses were looted, police said, adding that more than 500 people had been arrested over recent days.”
And you’re not wrong, but they are going to be doing that during the day for maximum effect. The kidnapping is the kindling and the police and military are the ignition. It’s not an accident that they are doing this as cruelly as possible. It’s literally the point. They are purposefully pushing us to a breaking point by kidnapping people in broad daylight so they can crack down and make themselves the heroes of the story for their propaganda machine. It’s perfectly reasonable to be pissed off at everything they are doing, but if we don’t look at the bigger picture then they win.
Every day another neighborhood resident is successfully kidnapped is a day closer to Trump having a stranglehold on your city.
The bigger picture is one of attrition. First they come for the migrant workers, and if you don’t stand by them it’s only a matter of time before they come for you.
