A violent encampment that included dozens of homeless people was dismantled by order of the Democratic mayor, who sounded very sorrowful and reluctant about the decision. 'Multiple efforts and calls to end the occupation peacefully were made but ultimately ignored.' Video from the lethal incident showed several police officers struggling to control Ruiz before one yells, "He's got a knife!" She went on to say protesters got violent when the city began to clear out the encampment. Again, multiple efforts and calls to end the occupation peacefully were made but ultimately ignored."
