LAist: LAPD protest response breaks California law, civil rights lawyers say

"...Members of the Los Angeles Police Department appear to have violated California law and a federal court order with their use of crowd control weapons during protests, civil rights attorneys told LAist.

Two state laws passed in response to law enforcement actions during the 2020 George Floyd protests restrict the use of chemical agents and kinetic energy projectiles — crowd control weapons that include tear gas and other less-lethal munitions such as rubber bullets and bean bag rounds — unless specific criteria are met. The laws also forbid police from interfering with journalists covering protests...."

NEW: I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who waved a weapon at her and told another church staffer that "the whole country is our property."

DHS claims ICE wan't there — but I have video, and it may just have been a different DHS team. https://religionnews.com/2025/06/13/in-church-confrontation-apparent-immigration-agents-wave-a-weapon-at-pastor/

I have always believed in men's mental health. I have learned that feelings, when properly expressed, cleanse the soul. The more enlightened cousins have, like me, managed to outlive their fathers. Crying is not weakness, nor is feeling.

The protests in #LosAngeles have been unarmed people holding signs & flags with military & militarized police in riot gear standing in large blocks & lines pretending to protect property the protesters aren’t even attempting to approach.
