At yesterdays city council meeting, Paul Krekorian kicked out legal observers from @NLG_LosAngeles for a second day in a row for “disrupting” The day before LAPD manhandled an observer for no reason. When Sgt Clark was asked about whether that was their policy, he had no comment

The LAPD often posts pictures of people accused of rape. Especially rape of children. Not sure why they failed to include pictures in the announcement of the arrest of their own cop. Of course they posted that announcement after 10PM because they’re shameless like that.
