Disturbances Are Few in a City Prepared to Keep Title Celebration Calm LOS ANGELES - Minor disturbances broke out around the Staples Center on Monday night after the Los Angeles Kings beat the Devils, 6-1, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals to capture heir first championship in franchise history. Although riot police fired rubber bullets in at least one instance, the disturbances were far less serious than those that followed the Los Angeles Lakers" N.B.A. titles in 2009 and 2010, or the large riot that engulfed downtown Vancouver last year after the Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals to the Boston Bruins. About 90 minutes after the Kings won the Cup on Monday night, the club released a video featuring the former King star and current team executive Luc Robitaille "asking fans to celebrate the Kings Stanley Cup championship safely and responsibly," according to an accompanying news release. "Please, show the pride we all have for our city and each other by celebrating safely and responsibly," Robitaille said in the video. Let the world know that in L.A., the home of the champions, we know how to celebrate the right way. The city appeared prepared to keep things in order for this championship: positioning riot police in various locations outside the downtown Staples Center. A citywide tactical alert was called by the Los Angeles Police Department after the Kings took an early 3-0 lead and victory seemed imminent. Private security officers cordoned off L.A. Live, the large retail mall across the street from the Staples Center. On Figueroa Street, a main thoroughfare that runs past the arena, phalanxes of police in riot gear slowly spread out away from the arena as news and police helicopters hovered overhead. The police in the lead group fired rubber bullets at a group of about 100 civilians after they threw rocks and bottles at group of officers, the police said. The civilian group also overturned trash bins and threw debris at a city bus, said a witnesses at Ninth Street and Figueroa. At Eighth and Figueroa, an ambulance crew treated a civilian for minor injuries, placing him in a neck brace. It was unclear how the man was injured. The police reported six arrests earlier in the night for offenses ranging from drunkenness to ticket scalping. Several hundred people were involved in disturbances near the Staples Center after the Lakers won in 2009 and 2010. Several people were injured, cars, businesses and buildings were vandalized and the police fired rubber bullets and made dozens of arrests. That experience touched off a large police presence outside the Kings game and warnings from Charlie Beck, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. "If you make trouble tonight, the L.A.P.D. will find and arrest you," Beck said Monday morning. There is a parade and celebration scheduled for Thursday at noon, starting at Fifth and Figueroa Streets, with a fan rally set for 2:30 outside the Staples Center.
