California, Los Angeles, and University of California, Los Angeles, leaders have all been absent from their posts, making real justice from the clash between terrorist-sympathizing protesters and counterprotesters almost impossible.

The Los Angeles Police Department is using facial recognition software to try and identify violent protesters, which is a problem when those protesters are known for wearing masks to hide their identities. The police have yet to make arrests from that clash eight days ago. (They did finally arrest 209 people once the encampment was stormed and disbanded by police.)
