Police were criticized for not doing more to intervene during the violence. Chief Eddie Garcia admitted there may not have been enough officers, but said the department achieved its goal of clearing the streets and making arrests. There were four arrests made that night.
That's why the department says its being aggressive in trying to find other people involved in the violence on June 2. They say they've identified some of the suspects in the videos, but need more help.
