The police have been joined by Orange County Sheriff’s department. Over 100 law enforcement officers have been reported with riot gear.
UPDATE: OC Sheriffs showed up as well in Riot gear. This is probably one of the few updates I’ll be able to give so please please be safe. Over 100 police personnel set up and more coming. Off Clementine and Disney Way

But violence and destruction can never be justified and will not be tolerated in Anaheim.As a city, we always welcome peaceful expression in Anaheim. But we will deal quickly and safely with anything that goes beyond that.We thank you all for your cooperation and for helping us keep our city safe.
We stand against racism.

We stand with our fellow Black employees, storytellers, creators and the entire Black community.
We must unite and speak out.
