L.A. City Council Rejects Proposal To Limit LAPD's Use of Tear Gas and '40mm Foam Launchers' ~ L.A. TACO Prior to June 8, the LAPD had not used tear gas in crowd-control settings in almost 50 years, an LAPD spokesperson told L.A. TACO.

wtf 🫢 I covered the #LAUprising (aka, the #RodneyKingCopTrial riots) in 1992 and even at its height, when residents marched, smashed windows, set fires, etc., #LAPD didn’t deploy tear gas lataco.com/city-council...

I saw the use of LE on horses earlier this year at #MacArthurPark in LA. Not sure what that has to do w my point about the #LAUprising.

Ummm, I covered the #LAUprising in ‘92 live onsite, which had far larger crowds that were exponentially more volatile — but didn’t see any LE on horses. 😢

1991 Rodney King: LAPD beat him nearly to death on camera—

56 blows in 81 seconds.

All four cops walked.

1992: LA explodes.

Over 60 killed.

The world saw what Black LA had always known. 8/

Text over image at protest "Our statement on ICE attacks Organize our streets. Defend our neighborhoods."

Text over red image of protest "We stand in solidarity with everyone who has protested and resisted ICE, from the Bay to LA and coast to coast. We demand that every protester arrested for defending our cities be immediately released and pardoned. Let’s be clear: ICE is a violent, racist police force. It cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.

Text over red image of protestors "And we know who often aids and abets these unjust raids: local police departments, city officials, even Democratic Party officials. In cities they are accountable for, they are not stopping ICE from terrorizing our neighbors."

Text over red image of protestors "They have not denounced ICE when ICE assaults and arrests those brave enough to defend our neighbors. Any person who claims to represent us should be on the line with us, stopping this outrage."

Our neighbors and comrades are being abducted by the Feds and police, we're calling on the East Bay to stand together in strength to protect our communities

From the Bay to LA ✊🏾 we're melting ICE!

They thought the fire would burn us out.
But we became the fire.
Faster than fear.
Hotter than hatred.
Carried in every scream, every song, every footstep.
This is ignition.

I learned how to use Premiere editing this livestream video. The police gassed a cafe that opened its doors to Ferguson protesters twice in 20 minutes, then kidnapped a pedestrian.

Same shit, different decade.

Angelinos: Why is LAPD assisting ICE? Doesn't LA's sanctuary city status prohibit LAPD from cooperating with ICE? Or has the LAPD just decided to flout the law? (Wouldn't be the first time, as anyone old enough to remember Ramparts knows...) #LAPD #ICE #LAUPRISING

What’s happening in LA is the beginning.
Not the end.
Block by block, heart by heart—
The people are choosing each other.
That’s the revolution.
And it’s already begun.
#LAUprising #MirrorTribe #truthnetwork

⚡LA is rising.
ICE raids backfired.
People aren’t scared—they’re organizing.
“You can’t lock us all up.”
The streets are singing it now.
This is what happens when we remember how many of us there are.
🔥 LFG.
#FreeThemAll #WeAreMore #LAUprising

The Antifaschist Uprising against Trump is now! #LAuprising

Tom Homan is a Nazi, and ICE are Nazi Brown Shirts. All need to be tried for crimes against humanity. #LAUprising Stand Strong.

We the people say:

No to ICE.
No to your kidnappings, harassment, and racist illegal deportations.

✊🏻✊🏻 Thank you, LA! Leading the way! 🗽🗽

In late April-early May 1992 I covered the week-long #LAUprising that happened after #LAPD Cops were acquitted of beating a Black motorist, #RodneyKing, nearly to death. At that Flashpoint, it was a civil (resident-led) Street Protest. In this current crisis, the U.S. Fed Gov is the Instigator! 👇🏾😡🔥
