Are we expected to believe a kind Samaritan just drove up with boxes of $50+ masks to hand out to the crowd?
Free riot gear for all?
This seems to be a clear case of someone funding this.
Who is it?
Some fingers are pointing at Walmart.
Are they upset with President Trump calling them out for raising their prices and blaming it on the tariffs?
#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.

Fox News reports:
LOS ANGELES – The mood in downtown Los Angeles shifted from tense to surreal Monday evening as FOX 11 cameras captured a masked group handing out riot shields and gas masks just steps from federal buildings—despite official claims that protests remained largely peaceful.
Reporters on the ground described chaotic scenes: protesters doing burnouts, tagging sidewalks, and climbing light poles as riot gear was passed around in full view. No local police were visible at the time, even as National Guard troops stood guard outside nearby federal buildings.
The masks being distributed were branded “bionic shield,” and the boxes appeared to be left behind in the open. The woman distributing them wasn’t masked herself—but her intent, or affiliation, remains unknown.
Who handed out the protest gear — and why?
What we know:
Witnesses and journalists observed the scene unfold in real time, offering a clearer—but still incomplete—picture of how the gear was distributed and what role it played in the evening’s escalation.FOX 11 reporters witnessed masked individuals handing out tactical gear to protest attendees.
No arrests were made at the scene, despite visible acts of vandalism and street interference.
The incident occurred near federal buildings as National Guard troops were stationed nearby.
Protesters also reported graffitiing, burning rubber, and preparing for clashes with police.
What we don’t know:
Despite the footage and mounting questions, officials have not provided clarity on key details surrounding the distribution or whether any investigation is underway.Whether the individuals distributing riot gear were part of an activist group, coordinated effort, or acting independently.
Why local law enforcement did not intervene despite the obvious gear handout and escalating street activity.
If the gear handout is being investigated by federal, state, or local authorities.
What led to the federal response in Los AngelesThe backstory:
Tensions have escalated in Los Angeles following President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy more than 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to respond to ongoing immigration protests. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have called the move unlawful, accusing Trump of manufacturing chaos to justify federal force.
Wal-Mart is funding this.

Question is — what’s their end game?
