Members and supporters of several activist groups are marching in downtown Los Angeles as of late afternoon Oct. 22. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce police brutality. Participants gathered at 838 E 6th Street before departing at 16:00 to march across the downtown area. It remains unclear exactly what route the demonstrators plan to take or how many participants are in attendance.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the march area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, or among rival activists, cannot be ruled out.
