LA protests: Riot gear distributed by masked group sparks questions

  • On June 9, 2025, riot gear labeled 'Bionic Shield' was distributed by masked individuals to protesters near federal buildings in downtown Los Angeles.
  • This distribution occurred amid escalating immigration-related protests that had begun peacefully earlier that day but turned volatile by evening.
  • The gear included shields, helmets, and gas masks usually used by police, and no local police intervened while National Guard troops stood nearby.
  • Public policy analyst Alicia Martinez described these actions as hazardous and warned that those responsible are taking serious risks.
  • The situation in Los Angeles escalated, leading President Trump to send thousands of National Guard members and several hundred Marines to the area, a move that prompted California officials to file lawsuits opposing the federal intervention.
