cinder

People threw rocks or chunks of cinder blocks, lit objects on fire and set off fireworks in the direction of law enforcement, Galvez’s agreement states.

“We have to respond. We have to fight fire with fire,” he continued, “but I want everyone to know that we’re going to end up with only cinders remaining.”

At 91, he never imagined starting his life over again in tiny rented apartments, with decades of memories in cinders.

At least 14 people are facing separate federal charges in relation to the L.A. protests, with alleged crimes including assaulting officers with cinder blocks and Molotov cocktails, and conspiracy to impede arrests.

Alleged crimes include hurling a Molotov cocktail at sheriff’s deputies and throwing cinder blocks at federal law enforcement; others, however, are facing prison time for seemingly more minor skirmishes.
