The entire McDonnell quote of “we can’t use X so Y is our alternative” is indicative of such a disingenuous lack of of imagination and problem solving rampant in the dept. It’s no wonder LAPD leaders and the city consistently fail to do anything but ask for a larger budget year over year.
Horrific account of what so-called "less lethal" munitions do to people's faces.
Don't forget: LAPD fired over 1000 rounds in a single day at mostly peaceful protesters.

LAPD Replaces ‘Less-Lethal’ Gun ‘Known To Maim People’ With Another ‘Less-Lethal’ Gun Capable Of Doing The Exact Same Thing ~ L.A. TACO
“Since we don't have access to the [40mm launcher], the FN303 is an alternative option,” LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said. “[And] we're looking at other options that are available as well on the field.”

It was also soooo obviously a surveillance spin to anyone who reads the news.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

I get the sentiments here and agree “the worst of us have been handed all the power”. But it’s not that those people were “wrong”. They were 💯 right along with Sanders: they just lied to Americans in order to wrestle the prosperity and power meant for the people solely for themselves.

Can we force this into a ballot proposition initiative? I heard an officer saying because it was not law and was essentially an executive order by Newsom LAPD policy could disregard it. Can’t we force it in via a prop?
Police Chief McDonnell needs to be indicted, impeached, fired... whatever it takes to get rid of a rotten apple in the department. He is allowing criminal behavior by refusing to enforce state law.

@mayor.lacity.gov where you at? Is the best we can get really LAPD and the city council allowing federal militias to remain masked and allow their crimes to remain anonymous? Where’s your spine?
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

💯. It’s a shock and awe strategy. As long as they can achieve the optics of de-escalating media is satisfied and moves on to the next crisis of the day. This is how the Overton window shifts and we slide into and accept a more and more fascist baseline

Absolutely infuriating that even when we in California change the law to do things like ban ice agents from hiding their identity, wearing masks, and operating as a secret force we are sidestepped by an all too willing and complicit LAPD chief who won’t enforce the policy empowering ICE further.

They’re also beholden to AIPAC which I would argue has a much larger interest in 1) keeping Trump in office and 2) exporting and normalizing their brutal tactics to other countries to divert Americans demands and attention on Gaza.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

So what they’re telling us is they can afford to lower their prices 15% and still turn a profit?… I thought mega corps raised prices during covid cause of the inevitable inflation caused by the left. 🤷♂️

Thinking back on this today… they DID redact the names of the victims as they see it - the victims of some perceived anti-billionaire smear campaign.
