Protests over the death of George Floyd drew thousands of people Saturday to the Fairfax District, where a police car went up in flames at one intersection.
Flames and billows of black smoke rose from the car, which was covered spray painted markings. Sky5 was overhead when someone went up to the car and bashed its windows and vandalized it before it burst into flames.
The scene Saturday was similar to one in downtown Los Angeles the night before, when thousands walked through the streets in joining nationwide demonstrations over Floyd’s death. A police SUV outside the InterContinental hotel near 7th and Figueroa streets was consumed by towering flames.
