LAPD just shot someone with their less lethal shotgun at almost point blank for no reason.
40mm launcher pointed point blank at people. Against the injunction and all forms of safety.

6th and Commonwealth. LAPD is one by one arresting people after kettling them. They fired 40mm at people directly earlier. One grazed my head.

They are saying Assata as people are being arrested. Legal observers are in there too.

LAPD just shot someone point blank with a “less lethal” weapon. Is this public safety @MayorOfLA???

I did not get this on video but they fired 40mm launcher rounds directly at people fleeing and running away. One grazed my head.

I also saved a queer bystander from getting trampled by rushing police. Just unnecessarily chaotic.

Here they are shooting the 40mm riot munitions at people fleeing. When he reloads and fires it grazes me across the head, not in the video.

40mm rounds are to be pointing at the ground. This is not the case.

Everyone has been arrested. They are now going through the stuff that was left behind. People who have been arrested are being taken to Metro Detention Center.

Earlier the far right extremists tried to sneak around the group through an alleyway and were stopped by police.

I am out. The violence came from police this time. Trans and queer activists were targetted and hurt today by LAPD. Far right extremists got to roam the city freely. Excessive force followed by an illegal kettle and arrest. No sure on final arrest numbers yet.
