[VIA: KTLA] At least three people were arrested after fights broke out amid a Glendale school district meeting on the inclusion of LGBTQ+ studies on Tuesday.
Large barricades set up by Glendale Police to control crowds were seen containing hundreds of demonstrators outside of the Glendale Unified School District headquarters.
A dispersal order was issued around 6:15 p.m. as police were heard using a loudspeaker to order the crowds removal, declaring an unlawful assembly. A large barricade was placed in the middle of the parking lot, separating the two contentious groups.
While most of the protest remained peaceful, police said a small group of individuals engaged in behavior deemed unsafe and a risk to public safety.
Officers were also heard saying they would not hesitate to use a chemical agent against the crowds. Posted By Ghost
