Riot Video: LAFD Asks Public To Identify Arsonists

The LAFD. today sent me a link to unedited video the department recently uploaded onto Youtube.com of criminal activity that was recorded outside Staples Center immediately after the NBA Finals in Los Angeles on June 17.

Criminals Torch Taxi After Lakers NBA Finals Win

(Lakers need to pass the hat for violated cabbie)

The LAFD’s Arson/Counter-Terrorism Section is asking for individuals who have any information about the rioting criminals in the video to call the department directly at (213) 485-6095.

The mayhem started when taxi driver Abraham Teferi tried to drive away from Staples Center after the game. His vehicle was quickly surrounded by around 40 rioters, and he was soon pulled from his cab. The violent mob then began destroying the taxi before lighting it on fire. (3:20 mark of the video.)

In the video, the arsonists can be heard laughing, cheering and taking photos of themselves in front of the destroyed taxi.

With his cab up in smoke, Teferi’s ability to earn a living has been subsequently destroyed.


The primary reason I’m rooting for the Lakers to 3-peat is to see if the LAPD. finally, severely cracks down on the same criminals who always use the Lakers NBA Finals victory as an excuse to terrorize the city.

    Everyone involved in that needs to be sent to Utah for punishment.

    Well, this behavior is surprising since 1 in every 20 brotha’s over 18 is in prison, seems to me they be quickly running out of people available for mayhem like this..shouldn’t be long before they are all locked up, or hooked on crack and meth, or HIV +, and eventually the race kills themselves off entirely; they are the minority here now compared to Hispanics for the first time in history, and we just get to watch and enjoy the entertainment, and carry a big gun of course…

    the police are “setting up perimeters” around “corridors” to “contain” the troublemakers and “stave them off” from the “protected areas”, because LA’s mayor is a gigantic pussy and so is his appointed puppet Police Chief.

    let them bust even half a dozen heads and watch the b.s. after these deciding games diminish by at least 90%
