The demonstrations are “out of control,” Essayli stated. ” They tossed rocks at the officers. We had actually Bomb tossed. We had all type of attacks on representatives. The state has a commitment to preserve order and preserve public security, and they’re not able to do that today in Los Angeles.

” We’re refraining from doing politics here, we’re doing public security,” Essayli reacted, rejecting Newsom’s claims.
