Front Page Observations
Headlines focus on the power of the law enforcement: the ordering of troops to L.A. as well as police "struggling" to get the upper hand. It is unclear what exactly the police are struggling to get the upper hand in, as they are generalized as the ones bringing the entirety of the riots under control (looting, shooting, burning buildings, other forms of protests). Their struggle is emphasized by the burning of a shopping mall -- this is the type of mayhem police are up against. Follows the pattern of the previous two days that highlight destruction and disorder over people and their struggles.
