Police and protesters face off over temporary closing of L.A. park with large homeless encampment
CBSN
Demonstrators gathered Wednesday night to protest the planned temporary closure of a Los Angeles park that would displace one of the city's largest homeless encampments, one that's grown throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
People living at the encampment are upset over the city's plan to close the park for repairs without finding permanent housing for the homeless. About 200 people, including demonstrators and some homeless people gathered as more than a dozen police cars and some sanitation trucks showed up at Echo Park Lake.More Related News
