EXCERPT:
BASS: “The night before this action was taken, there was a protest that got a little unruly late at night. It was a hundred people. Twenty-seven people were arrested. There wasn't a reason for this. That is the concern. And if there was, the way it happens traditionally is, is that requests are made on the local level of the governor to send National Guard troops. No requests came from the city of Los Angeles. What has happened now is an entirely different situation.”
