I don’t know. Something weird about dressing up in IDF garb and taking pictures with IDF soldiers.

Absolutely not the person I want overseeing the police commission.

Karen Bass has nominated someone that dresses his family in IDF uniforms to be on the LAPD Commission.

The IDF has no oversight or accountability. Why would we want someone who idolizes them to oversee the LAPD?

LAPD Commission Meeting:

My complaint against the Chief was scheduled for closed session discussion.

I let the commission know if they don’t sustain it I’m coming to their community to shame them. If you don’t like it, then complain to DA Hochman. He can get some, too.

We talk about LASD gangs, but not LAPD. Vasquez was wearing this gang pin. From command staff source:

“Vazquez is the Sergeant 2 in charge of Hollenbeck gangs. They love to wear their Speedy Gonzalez look alike pin. Disrespectful to uniform and community. The very reason it is not authorized.”

Notice how this “supervisor” removed his serial number from his helmet. He refused to ID himself — all while he violates a TRO.

Thankfully through WatchTheWatchers.net I was able to find him.

The most frustrating part, is that I had repeatedly noted that the LAPD had handled the press well last night until that point. LAPD even approached this photographer to let her know she could get closer. And we gave them space when requested.

Then some lunkheads got involved.

Forcing press to leave during a dispersal order is a violation of state law (1st pic), violation of a federal restraining order (2nd pic) and violation of LAPD’s own policy (3rd pic).

Also note how LAPD’s policy says press does not have to be in designated media areas.

To show you how ridiculous this was, here is where the protest line is. It’s so far away you can’t even see anything. Yet the control freaks insisted we couldn’t even stand there. They wanted us to stand where we could see NOTHING.

On July 10, the federal restraining order was issued. The LAPD was required to inform all personnel within three days.

The Chief sent out this email last week informing all personnel, again, about the restraining order and press’ rights at protests.

The LAPD still violates it.

LAPD sergeant Vazquez falsely claimed press are NOT exempt from dispersal orders — a direct violation of both California law (PC 409.7) as well as a federal restraining order.

He said the federal restraining order “didnt matter right now.” He then refused to ID himself.

LAPD Commission Meeting:

A federal judge has issued a restraining order barring the LAPD from beating up and unlawfully detaining press.

No one at the Commission mentioned that. Like it’s no big deal.

The LAPD noticed the Commissions’ silence, and immediately went out and beat the press, again.

Sent an email to the LAPD Commission about the uses of force and detainment of press.

The broken rib and face lacerations meet the definition of “categorical use of force” and need to be treated as such—including release of bodycam within 45 days.

If the L.A. mayor won't control them, then she is no better, or worse, than Trump

The LAPD doesn’t answer to judges. They never have and never will.

The LAPD answers to the mayor and LAPD Commission. That’s it. If you’re unwilling to get them to act, then nothing will change.

In response to LAPD’s outrageous and violent violations of our temporary restraining order on Friday, lawyers for @lapressclub.bsky.social have filed for contempt.

10 journalists were battered, bloodied, zip-tied, and/or kettled.

LAPD can’t police itself. Now it must answer to the judge it defied.
