00:00Thanks to our law enforcement officers and the majority of Angelenos who protested peacefully,
00:06the situation was winding down and was concentrated in just a few square blocks downtown.
00:12But that's not what Donald Trump wanted.
00:15He again chose escalation.
00:17He chose more force.
00:19He chose theatrics over public safety.
00:22He federalized another 2,000 Guard members.
00:25He deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines.
00:30These are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement.
00:36We honor their service.
00:37We honor their bravery.
00:39But we do not want our streets militarized by our own armed forces.
00:44Not in L.A., not in California, not anywhere.
00:47We're seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking lots.
00:52Kids afraid of attending their own graduation.
00:56Trump is pulling a military dragnet all across Los Angeles,
01:02well beyond his stated intent to just go after violent and serious criminals.
01:06His agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses.
01:13That's just weakness, weakness masquerading as strength.
