Protesters smashed a window on at least one police cruiser, punctured the tires of a police sport utility vehicle, and at one point tried to flip a police car.<br /><br /><br />About five police cars were damaged in total, police said, adding that some will require thousands of dollars' worth of repairs.<br /><br />"Dump the Trump," one sign read. Another protester scrawled anti-Trump messages on Costa Mesa police cars.<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Supporters and protesters show up in full force at Trump rally in Orange County<br />ò<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Donald Trump's rally in Costa Mesa attracted throngs of supporters and detractors.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"I'm protesting because I want equal rights for everybody, and I want peaceful protest," said 19-year-old Daniel Lujan, one of hundreds in a crowd that appeared to be mostly Latinos in their late teens and 20s.<br /><br />"I knew this was going to happen," Lujan added. "It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets."<br /><br />Video footage showed some anti-Trump demonstrators hurling debris at a passing pickup truck. One group of protesters carried benches and blocked the entrance to the 55 Freeway along Newport Boulevard, with some tossing rocks at motorists near the on-ramp.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-74313908258491164532016-04-29T04:36:22.265-07:002016-04-29T04:36:22.265-07:00I'm still trying to understand Facebook's ...I'm still trying to understand Facebook's logic...this Copestick character is allowed to publically trash Trump and His followers but one can't say anything about it?
