Political Argument Prompts Police Response at Riverside Restaurant

June 14, 2025 – Riverside, CA – A heated political argument escalated into a large police response Saturday afternoon outside LAWS Restaurant in Riverside, following reports of a man allegedly carrying weapons. The incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. at 9640 Indiana Avenue and drew multiple law enforcement officers to the scene. According to the Riverside Police Department, the initial call referenced a man possibly armed, stemming from a dispute earlier in the day involving political demonstrators near the 91 Freeway and 14th Street overpass. Witnesses stated the man and his passenger—both wearing pro-Trump attire and driving a vehicle adorned with political decals—had engaged in a verbal altercation with freeway protesters earlier that day. When the two men exited the restaurant, police converged on them and searched their vehicle, which was captured on video. It remains unclear whether any weapons were found or if the individuals were officially taken into custody.
