Dozens of protesters shutdown one of the busiest freeways in Los Angles on Wednesday, causing huge traffic jams and resulting in multiple altercations and arrests in a demonstration over ceasefire demands from the protest group IfNotNow.
The demonstration organized by IfNotNow, which demands the United States halt support for Israel and has organized other controversial demonstrations, began during rush hour on Wednesday morning, and was quickly caught on thousands of cameras and by news organizations including KTLA and KCAL.
Drivers became so frustrated that some began to exit their vehicles and confront the protesters resulting in both verbal and physical confrontations. Police had to intervene before things escalated further.
