Demonstrators are taking to the streets of Central Los Angeles Saturday in the fourth day of local protests over the police custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

What appear to be thousands of people converged by the Pan Pacific Park near The Grove, the Beverly Center, and at least two other major streets in the area.

Along Third Street near Fairfax Avenue, police officers formed a circle surrounded by dense crowds of protesters just after 2:30 p.m. with more than a dozen police vehicles lined down the street. The officers faced protesters, engaging in a tense standoff in an area where some people climbed onto buildings and a commuter bus.

At one nearby intersection, people smashed the windows of a police car and sprayed it with neon yellow and pink paint before it went up in flames. Crowds of people dispersed and ran from the car as billows of smoke and flames rose from its roof.
