Los Angeles protestors torched and spat on an American flag while chanting “burn it down” and calling for the destruction of America in just the latest shocking scene out of the city’s ongoing riots, footage shows.
“This is not just a gesture, this is something we need to make real. We need to take down this empire once and for all,” a man with a bullhorn yelled to a crowd gathered around an American flag, which lay burning between them on an LA street Sunday evening.
Protestors then stepped forward and sprayed lighter fluid on the burning flag, while others marched up and spat on it, footage from the incident showed.
“F–k imperialism,” the crowd jeered, “F–k ICE. F–k Trump. F–k the system.”
The scene was just the latest to come out of LA, which has been mired in riots throughout the weekend after protests broke out over mass raids for illegal immigrants carried out by the Department of Homeland Security on Friday.
As the protests intensified over the weekend, President Trump sent in the National Guard to help quell the riots, but the violence has continued.
