Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open. LAPD dragged and left her bleeding on the sidewalk, providing no medical care. The person a group of onlookers took her to the ER.

LAPD ruptured another man’s testicle at a protest. The last time was in 2020 and it ended up costing taxpayers $1.5-million. No amount of money can bring back a testicle or fix the health issues down the road. ktla.com/news/local-n...

One of the underpinnings of disaster response is that people on the whole are good and help each other. No robbery, just mutual aid. It’s the police and officials that make things suck in the aftermath. Feel like the #NoKings marches reinforced that. The cops were the violent ones.

Hearing from so many people, including people with their kids, who didn't feel safe after LAPD/LASD started attacking peaceful protesters — and then were unable to get home. If you took transit to DTLA and got stranded I'd love to hear from you

Watching the streets of east side LA get emptier and whiter this week has been chilling. This is a city of immigrants and it feels so hollow when they can’t participate in public life without fear

states would be well within their rights at this point to legislate standards for how law enforcement officers identify themselves and impose criminal penalties on violators. if the feds think that dressing up like Proud Boys is essential to their mission, let them litigate.
