It is wild that the LA jails are so dilapidated and dirty that the medical examiner bothers making note of it in autopsy reports.

We’re leading a coalition of 17 AGs in support of journalists and protesters challenging DHS’s dangerous use of force during the Los Angeles protests this past summer.
 
We will continue to oppose threats to free, safe speech wherever and whenever they arise.

Thankful for outpouring of support from 16 states+DC in our LA Press Club case against DHS.

I started taking screenshots, but too much good stuff to highlight! Check out crowd-control munitions section starting page 8. Bravo!

LAPD & Los Angeles leaders: Take note.

Amici States also have learned hard lessons over the years through efforts to address numerous mass protests. Most notably, after the George Floyd protests of 2020, many Amici States recognized that existing guidelines and state laws did not properly balance their interests in policing unlawful conduct while protecting First Amendment rights, nor did they recognize that aggressive tactics can often inflame rather than quell public unrest. Together, these laws and guidelines reflect an emerging consensus on the best practices in crowdcontrol policing: that crowd-control munitions should typically only be used to address a threat to life or serious bodily injury. In this way, these best practices attempt to ensure public safety and order while at the same time protecting the First Amendment rights of the public and members of the press. In light of the complexities associated with crowd management and control, Amici States recognize the need for specialized training. For example, California’s POST Commission requires agencies to conduct trainings on crowd management and control that “include the actual stress of incident management to ensure that critical thinking can be applied during real events.”19 The Commission has also stressed the “need for reality-based scenario training that mimics, as much as possible, the ‘fog’ encountered during critical event management.”

Undoubtedly dozens of media organizations will write about this case after seeing this thread. Many without citing our scoop. But we don’t have the resources to report out everything we find. If you’d like to fix that, consider a paid subscription to Court Watch www.CourtWatch.news/upgrade

Hi @ktla.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

California weather PSA:

Fact: Major SoCal storm *is* likely this weekend, w/2-4 inches of rain & t-storms possible in LA (more in mtns) & notable flood/debris flow risk in some spots.

Context: Snapshots showing ~10 inches of rain are extreme outliers, & very unlikely!
Snapshot of current ECMWF model ensemble prediction of precipitation over the next 2 weeks for a point near Los Angeles. 2-4 inches of rain are highly likely this weekend, which represents a major November storm! But only 1 in 51 (<2%) of ensemble members show ~10 inches of rain this week--making it an extreme, and very unlikely, outlier.

Seriously, you need to read this. Last Saturday in Echo Park was nuts as cops preemptively invaded the area before the World Series was even over and assaulted people with batons, horses and tear gas. @shoton35mm.bsky.social pieced the violence together in fantastic reporting.

2k words + a trip to the ER later (I'm OK), here is my latest story for @lataco.bsky.social about the LAPD'S response to World Series celebrations in L.A.. I spoke to a man who was headed to the Gold Room for a nightcap and had to undergo surgery after being hit in the finger with a "ruber bullet."

Here's @cd13.lacity.gov's statement on the Short Stop incident: “The video is incredibly disturbing. Especially considering the tactics we're seeing from the federal government, everyone in the city should be demonstrating what the rule of law looks like, instead of using their same playbook”

Let's not forget the time in early 2021 when the LAPD stopped issuing press passes due to some unexplained software issue.

Be sure to also note @adamrose.bsky.social's assessment of why declaring an unlawful assembly to shut down a bar DURING THE FINAL GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES sets a chilling precedent: “Using unlawful assembly this way is like pre-crime or thought-crime enforcement"
Adam Rose, the press rights chair for the Los Angeles Press Club, told L.A. TACO that he didn’t see shutting down The Douglas bar as a press rights issue, but “it is another example of LAPD’s endless incompetence in dealing with crowds.” Rose said, based on limited reports, that the gathering was peaceful, “declaring an unlawful assembly during the 9th inning of World Series game 7 seemed senseless and frankly cruel to a city in need of something worth celebrating." “Using unlawful assembly this way is like pre-crime or thought-crime enforcement,” Rose continued. “It’s a dystopian punishment of lawful people and lawful business. The only thing it accomplishes is giving pretextual excuses for LAPD’s thoroughly documented bloodlust during public assemblies.”
