Israeli Special Ops veteran Aaron Cohen has joined the growing chorus of voices criticizing the handling of the Los Angeles riots, calling the situation ‘extremely dangerous’ due to tactical failures. During an exclusive interview on Hannity, Cohen emphasized that the lack of preparedness and coordination among local authorities during the riots was a major contributing factor to the chaos.
Cohen, who served in elite units of the Israeli military and has extensive experience in high-risk operations, argues that the tactical decisions made by law enforcement during the riots were poorly executed. He pointed to the need for better intelligence gathering, rapid response capabilities, and clear communication channels between different agencies. ‘This was not just a failure of leadership, but a lack of understanding of how to manage such a volatile situation,’ Cohen stated.
The comments have sparked renewed debate about the adequacy of public safety measures in Los Angeles and the role of federal intervention in urban riots. While some supporters of Cohen’s critique argue that the lessons from the riots could inform future policing strategies, others are calling for more transparency and accountability in how such events are managed.
