Police quickly clear pro-Palestinian encampment set up outside Los Angeles City Hall

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attempt by pro-Palestinian protesters to establish an encampment in front of Los Angeles City Hall was short-lived. Protesters set up about 20 tents on sidewalks outside the downtown building Monday afternoon and the Los Angeles Police Department posted on social media site X that it was monitoring a non-permitted demonstration. KABC-TV reports that officers moved in early Tuesday and cleared away the encampment without making any arrests. In Pennsylvania, pro-Palestinian protesters left the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning early Tuesday after several protesters clashed with police. The conflict marked the second straight night of demonstrations.
