Laser Beams, Fireworks, and Concrete: The New Threat Facing Law Enforcement
By Staff Writer - June 9, 2025
From blinding lasers to concrete projectiles — today’s protests are pushing law enforcement gear to its limits.
In the wake of escalating civil unrest in Los Angeles, law enforcement agencies across California are being forced to reevaluate the capabilities of their protective equipment. During the recent riots, officers weren’t just met with angry crowds — they were assaulted with laser beams, concrete blocks, fireworks, and even vehicles.
For departments still relying on standard-issue riot gear, these evolving threats have exposed a dangerous reality: your officers may not be fully protected.
Officers Injured on the Front Lines
According to multiple news reports, the recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles have resulted in numerous injuries to law enforcement officers, including:
-
LAPD officers struck by concrete blocks and fireworks
-
Two officers hit by motorcyclists ramming police lines
-
Multiple reports of eye injuries and disorientation from lasers
-
Five LAPD officers injured during weekend clashes — three treated at the scene and two transported for further care
LAPD leadership has described officers as “overwhelmed” by the scale and violence of the protests.
These aren't hypotheticals — this is happening right now. And it demands a higher standard of protective equipment.
