False: Videos from Los Angeles prove National Guard and Marines needed to stop violence
Claim
Multiple videos have circulated online — including from official Trump Administration military accounts — showing police and civilian cars being set on fire, along with protesters attacking the owner of a local business.
Fact
These videos are from separate events, not June 2025 in Los Angeles.
The images are from prior protests: in May 2020, in March 2024, and a in October 2024 — which have been improperly captioned to create panic. All have been fact-checked via SNOPES.
