Windows Smashed, Fires Set, as Protests Turn Violent in Anaheim [Video]
Protesters broke windows of stores and set fires as clashes with police turned violent in Anaheim. Five people were arrested during the second major 
demonstration after police allegedly shot an unarmed man.
Tom Tait, the city’s mayor, has asked for assistance from state and federal authorities in an investigation of the shooting of the unarmed man.
“Transparency is essential,” Tait said Sunday. “The investigation will seek the truth. And whatever the truth is, we will own it.”
The shooting will be investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s office, the State Attorney General, the Anaheim Police Department’s Officer of Internal Affairs and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
The second set of demonstrations began on Tuesday, when over 600 people gathered outside City Hall, where police were inside holding a meeting.
According to NBCLosAngeles.com:
A disperal order was issued at about 9 p.m. to hundreds of demonstrators that began gathering outside Anaheim City Hall around 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, police said. Within minutes, a group of protesters could be seen fleeing from the intersection of Anaheim Boulevard and Broadway after officers reportedly shot pepper b***s at their feet, police said.
The majority of the crowd had dispersed by 11 p.m., but a small contingent remained in the street. Anaheim Boulevard was reopened with a heavy police presence.
Several fires broke out near the scene of the protest — one in a trash bin, another near a bus bench, according to aerial footage. It was not immediately clear how the fires started.
Demonstrators continued throwing rocks and bricks at police cars, and were taken into custody up until around 11:30PM.
The reason the demonstration swelled into the street was because City Hall was filled to capacity, so police in riot gear had closed off the entrance.

Looks like the natives are restless again. If only those white devils would provide decent above-minimum wage jobs for our young brothers, they would not have to act like hoodlums. They brought our ancestors to these vile shores; they owe us more than they will ever be willing to pay. I say, go ahead and burn the d**n place down; we don’t own it. “Go brothers.”
I don’t care for white people in these protests. I remember the Oscar Grant Protest in 2009. It was nothing more but a bunch of white people who took pleasure in destroying black own businesses and property. They don’t give a d**n about true police brutality and racial profiling. All they care about is destroying s**t and throwing stuff at the police because as white people they can get away with it and know it. Enough said.
So our brothers act like hoodlums because ‘the white man’ doesn’t provide above minimum wage jobs for them. That’s a more than ignorant statement. How about our brothers getting a “free” education so they don’t have to be hoodlums in the first place without ‘the white man’ being involved at all? How about that? Let’s see…I’m a stupid negro because the white man won’t give me a job that pays more than selling drugs. People have choices. How about making a good one for a change!
We live in dangerous times and it will demand wisdom and faith and the setting of proper goals. What do you have to give? Invest your mind and build your future with God’s help. It is wise to not run with a crowd to do evil. Crowds tend to take on a demonic personality. They do not think and they have no empathy. They give themselves permission to rage in the streets. This will up the investment in crowd control technology and surveillance. In the past they would call in the national guard and declare martial law. I sense that we are not far from doing that again. If we can’t behave the nation should be returned to The Native Americans.
