LOS ANGELES (KERO) — Chaos erupted during a Los Angeles City Council meeting on Tuesday, December 13th.

Shouts from the audience prompted delays and several people were removed. People attending the meeting were chanting "arrest KDL" and "KDL is anti-black, we don't want you coming back." That is in reference to embattled council member Kevin de Leon, who has continued to dismiss calls for his resignation.

The city clerk and city attorney repeatedly tried to take back control of the situation.

Calls for de Leon to resign started in October after racist remarks he made on tape went viral. A video surfaced showing him in a physical altercation with an activist on Friday, December 9th. De Leon said he was acting in self-defense.
