Los Angeles looked like a war zone Monday night as police fired non-lethal rounds and flashbangs during clashes with demonstrators protesting the police-involved death of Dijon Kizzee.

Video shows sheriff’s deputies squeezing off shots as protesters carry what appears to be a barricade toward them outside the South Los Angeles sheriff’s station.

Flashbangs then erupt, with protesters fleeing.

The chaos unfolded on the third consecutive night of protests over the deadly deputy shooting of Kizzee last week.

Kizzee, 29, was gunned down during a violent confrontation with deputies that began when they tried to stop him on a bike for a code violation.

As he fled, he dropped clothes he was holding that police said contained a black semiautomatic handgun.

The family’s lawyer said Kizzee, who was black, was struck more than 20 times.

Protests were mostly peaceful during the day Monday, though demonstrators squared off with two men who booted them from their neighborhood, ABC 7 Los Angeles reported.

Congressional candidate Joe Collins and Robert Foster, who said he was a cousin of Kizzee, then broke up a press conference and asked the crowd to leave.

“Don’t come out here and tear up stuff,” said Collins. “We need reform. We don’t need people tearing up our communities.”

The sheriff’s department tweeted that it supported protesters “peacefully” exercising their First Amendment rights.

“However, we are concerned there are individuals from outside of the community, and state, wanting to incite riots,” the post said. “Those individuals have already committed acts of vandalism, looting & assaults utilizing rocks, pipes & mortars.

“Everyone’s public safety is our priority. If you are in the area, please be aware of your surroundings so that you are not hurt by those inciting violence.”
