VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Cleanup is underway after protesters damaged the outside of a Los Angeles Police Department station in Van Nuys.
A group of roughly 50 protesters showed up Friday around 11 p.m. outside the Van Nuys station, chanting anti-police slogans and performing several acts of vandalism, including burning a flag.
Police say the group removed a flag from in front of the station and set it on fire. Others spray-painted anti-police messages on the walls of the station.
A few members of the group surrounded a police cruiser that had uniformed officers inside. They began hitting the cruiser and tried to block it from driving away. The officers were eventually able to escape by reversing out of the area.
No arrests have been made. Police asked anyone with information to call the station at (818)374-9500 or provide anonymous information to Crime Stoppers at (800)222-TIPS.

Check out this wild scene captured on camera this weekend in the South Bay beach community in Los Angeles County, where a Black woman started filming another woman along the bike path who was having an absolutely racist meltdown.
You can hear the "Karen" in question claiming that the Black woman accosted her, and that she was going to call the police ... which she eventually does. The videographer fires back, saying this lady called her the n-word ... which the woman in question doesn't deny.
What she does do ... constantly call the woman of color an "African" in an utterly condescending tone. She goes on to ask why "you people are so violent" and then actually gets on the line with a 911 operator and continues her racist spiel.

MARION HUMPHREY JR.: Lane change on I-40 leads to traffic stop, handcuffing and search.
A state trooper’s stop of a Black motorist on Interstate 40 has led to a complaint to state officials and a related request for racial information about State Police enforcement practices.
Marion Humphrey Jr., a third-year law student, was stopped Aug. 20 by Troop J Trooper Steven Payton. According to Humphrey’s attorney, Conner Eldridge of Fayetteville, who employs Humphrey as a law clerk, he was moving from Fayetteville to Little Rock (where he’ll continue law school virtually) and using a rental vehicle. Payton stopped him allegedly changing lanes too quickly By Eldridge’s account, Payton told Humphrey he was acting nervous. He said a police dog “alerted” to something in the vehicle and Humphrey was handcuffed in the back of a police car for more than an hour while a search was conducted. Nothing was found. Humphrey was released after being issued a “warning” on his supposed lane change violation.
In a letter to Col. Bill Bryant, director of the State Police, Eldridge writes that the traffic stop was pretextual, there was no probable cause for the search and the warning citation Payton issued had no legal justification. Copies also went to Governor Hutchinson, Attorney General Leslie Rutledge and Public Safety Secretary Jami Cook.
To put the argument simply: Humphrey was stopped and searched for driving a rental vehicle while Black. Humphrey is the son of retired Circuit Judge Marion Humphrey of Little Rock.
Apart from the singular case of Humphrey, the letter sets the stage for a broad look at enforcement by Arkansas troopers in the midst of national debate — crisis might be a better word — on police attitudes toward Black people. Are they treated differently — and sometimes more violently — than white suspects? The answer seems to be answered affirmatively almost daily nationwide, aided mightily by now-ubiquitous digital recording devices.
The Arkansas State Police and Trooper Payton’s unlawful stop, search, and treatment of Mr. Humphrey violated numerous laws and constitutional rights of Mr. Humphrey. It is blatantly obvious that Trooper Payton and the Arkansas State Police treated Mr. Humphrey in this manner because of his race. Such treatment is unlawful, unethical, and outrageous. We intend to exercise all available legal avenues to hold Mr. Payton accountable for this egregious and racist behavior.
All others with the Arkansas State Police or other agencies who were involved and responsible will also be held accountable. Law enforcement actions such as this that involve clear racial profiling, abuse of power, and state-sponsored racism directed at African Americans must be confronted and stopped. Such reprehensible and discriminatory conduct should not and will not be tolerated in the State of Arkansas.
As a former United States Attorney and chief federal law enforcement officer in the Western District of Arkansas, I am appalled at this conduct. On behalf of my client and because justice demands action for Marion and others subjected to similar treatment, I intend to do everything in my power to pursue justice, call out racist actions as occurred in this case, hold those who abuse power accountable, and end the systemic racial injustice evident in situations such as this.
Under the authority of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), I request copies of the following records regarding the above referenced incident and actions that occurred on August 20, 2020, involving the stop of Mr. Humphrey, the search of Mr. Humphrey’s rental vehicle, and the issuance of Warning Order No. W002083, all associated matters, and certain other conduct by Trooper Payton and the Arkansas State Police, including but not limited to:
All video and related audio (including Dashcam, Bodycam, and any video or audio
recording),
Dispatcher logs and recordings,
Police reports,
Incident reports,
Internal memos, and

Pinterest pays $89.5 million to terminate San Francisco office lease due to shift to work-from-home
Pinterest pays $89.5 million to terminate San Francisco office lease
Pinterest, a social-sharing site popular for pinning recipes, home inspiration and more, has canceled its large San Francisco office lease.
The lease was for 88 Bluxome, a high-rise complex to-be-constructed near Pinterest's existing San Francisco headquarters. The company cited a shift to work-from-home due to the coronavirus pandemic in its decision. Pinterest will keep its current city offices, however.
"As we analyze how our workplace will change in a post-COVID world, we are specifically rethinking where future employees could be based," Pinterest Chief Financial Officer Todd Morgenfeld said in a statement Friday. "A more distributed workforce will give us the opportunity to hire people from a wider range of backgrounds and experiences."
The termination fee for the 490,000-square-foot office space is $89.5 million, Bloomberg reports. Eighty-eight Bluxome, located in China Basin adjacent to the 4th and King Caltrain station, is one of the city's most ambitious new developments. When completed, it will have two office high-rises, ground-floor retail shops, 12 indoor tennis courts and multiple swimming pools. Pinterest's lease was signed with Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc.
