Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Practically speaking, 2,000 National Guard in an area the size of Greater Los Angeles can't do very much without local agency help. They can lock down a couple neighborhoods. They can stay put and protect some federal facilities. They can't enforce a curfew on 18 million people across 4000 sq miles
