(PJ Media)—Somehow, the narrative that the Los Angeles rioters are a spontaneous gathering of peaceful, concerned citizens always seems to fall apart just as it’s about to go viral.
Fox News 11 caught a group of masked men and women unloading a truck full of plastic face shields branded “bionic shield.” The police were nowhere to be found.
#BREAKING We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truck loads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed.
It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police.

Reporters also saw people handing out gas masks and other tactical paraphernalia.

PJ Media has been trying to unravel the numerous connections to activist groups and non-governmental organizations that are funding the riots. Could the face shields be for the protection of rioters from plastic bullets and other projectiles that police are firing?
Hasan Piker, a political commentator and online streamer with 1.5 million followers on X, said in response to Michaelson’s post: “Elex this is for basic safety that mutual aid groups hand out alongside ear protection, respirators, and goggles. It’s to ensure people aren’t harmed by cops shooting projectiles.”
Yes, we certainly want everyone to be safe, except if the rioters feel safe enough to throw bricks and shards of glass at police, the face shields are as valuable as a weapon.
