Aerial footage shows massive crowds on the 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue. The march has been peaceful so far, but police have deployed 'additional resources' to maintain order.
I know it was over 40,000 people because the internet on my phone wouldn’t load. Probably closer to Dodger Stadium sellout ~54,000. twitter.com/ladinenclub/st…
The protesters, many of whom are Black Live Matter activists, are demanding justice for George Floyd, an unarmed black man, who died in police custody earlier this week in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
3rd and Fairfax has been shut down by protesters! #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter #AbolishPolice
Floyd’s death has sparked riots and unrest in several major cities across the country. A total of 533 people were detained in Los Angeles alone on Friday.
The demonstrations take place amid the quarantine restrictions, imposed to combat the spread of Covid-19.

Little geography lesson for those following the Los Angeles protests from afar. This shows the route of the protests from Pan-Pacific Park to La Cienega Blvd. Not too hard to figure out why westward movement was stopped there.
