Michael Ortiz, 30, has been charged with attempted murder
Pro-abortion rioter Michael Ortiz was arrested in Los Angeles last weekend after allegedly using a homemade flamethrower to attack police. Ortiz, 30, was arrested during a violent pro-abortion demonstration on June 26.
Ortiz was one of several arrests made during the pro-abortion demonstration that soon devolved into a riot. The unrest broke out shortly after 8.20 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles, the LAPD said.
Ortiz is being charged with two felony assault counts upon a peace officer or firefighter after reportedly throwing a homemade flamethrower at a Los Angeles police officer.
The weapon consisted of a spray paint can and a lighter, which Ortiz hurled at police officers. He was carrying five cans of spray paint when he was arrested.
