I call it kettling.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettling#:~:text=On%2027%20June%202010%2C%20200,on%20the%20Esplanade%20and%20arrested.

rhutabhayga.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes. That's what it's called.

Kettling -I thought that was against the law -back when we had laws

rhutabhayga.bsky.social•7 days ago

The last phrase answers your first

anoracle.bsky.social•4 days ago

We have laws.

We must find the officers of the court who are willing to enforce them.

Is the mayor not in charge of the police?

rhutabhayga.bsky.social•7 days ago

I don't want to make excuses for anyone, but the current situation is extremely abnormal, with DC federalizing our National Guard and sending in the Marines and both the LAPD and the LA SD all on the scene. There are police scanner audio where LAPD is complaining that LASD is shooting at them.

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•7 days ago

That's what they did in Trump's first term at Lafayette Square in DC

rkdowner.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's what they did in 2020 in Portland. They've been practicing this for years.

chrisjustice01.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, even earlier. Portland was a testing ground. There are paid agitators/agents there dedicated to clashing with police. And some police who do the same. If we had Justice, this could have been prevented.

sparrowjess12.bsky.social•6 days ago

The city police escorted proud boys, a good portion of whom were from Vancouver. Sadly Portland’s police department has had a sketchy reputation for some time.

isnt that entrapment? i mean if you are being held against your will and then being charged for being there, isnt that entrapment? maybe even kidnapping?

this is a lose lose for lapd. those charges wont stick. but they do get to flex some muscle ...

lilbrownbat.bsky.social•7 days ago

THEY won't lose a damn thing. Qualified immunity don't you know.

fatbaldboomer.bsky.social•7 days ago

Not in a wrongful arrest case

lilbrownbat.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm not at all sure that that's true. You can bring a suit, but seems it's very unlikely that the cop who did the deed will ever pay a price. If anything, it will be the city/town/company employing the cop.

rkdowner.bsky.social•6 days ago

In other words, the taxpayers. It's always the taxpayers. We need a law that says when cops fuck up the Police Union has to pay the fines.

radlegaltakes.bsky.social•6 days ago

That all depends on a multitude of factors, none of which typically favor plaintiffs.

fatbaldboomer.bsky.social•6 days ago

I understand. I could be wrong.

radlegaltakes.bsky.social•6 days ago

This might be worth a read:

fatbaldboomer.bsky.social•6 days ago

"Kettling has been criticized as a tactic that can lead to human rights violations, as it can trap individuals who may not have engaged in unlawful behavior ..." - google

radlegaltakes.bsky.social•6 days ago

Unfortunately, I didn’t find any cases on point during my (admittedly cursory) search of Ninth Circuit case law.

fatbaldboomer.bsky.social•6 days ago

I understand. In this circumstance, with the evidence that exists i believe, as a layman, the plaintiff would prevail.

radlegaltakes.bsky.social•6 days ago

It all depends on whether a previous *published* Ninth Circuit or SCOTUS case dealt with nearly identical facts and found a constitutional violation. I haven’t yet looked, but the odds are rarely good.

philburns.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's not entrapment. the action of tricking someone into committing a crime in order to secure their prosecution.

rhutabhayga.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's all about intimidation.
The question is who is giving them the directive to behave so aggressively.

And also, why change the curfew and not announce the change? The overwhelming majority were obeying the law.

jackjrswisher.bsky.social•7 days ago

If there is video of of that then the LAPD is going to pay out millions in "deprivation of rights by color of law"settlements

rhutabhayga.bsky.social•7 days ago

An excellent idea.
I would include that it's the police that are holding me hostage, terrorizing me, and not allowing me to leave to beat curfew.

rkdowner.bsky.social•6 days ago

I would say that it's people impersonating officers that are doing it to me.

fatbaldboomer.bsky.social•7 days ago

any two bit public defender could mount that defense
my client wanted to leave but could not
case dismissed, or a small fine.
the city probably wont even prosecute, just drop the case
the point is to inconvenience you and make you regret being a democrat. but you could sue for false arrest. i would.

rhutabhayga.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think it's more about intimidation and trying to discourage people from turning out.

celiebug.bsky.social•7 days ago

What is so sad and sick right now is that some of the people that are wearing masks and not uniforms necessarily that we don’t know who they are that are pulling people out and putting them in cars taking them to God knows where. Do you know how scary that is? That’s wrong. Just wrong.
