Los Angeles police have announced they are making mass arrests in the city’s downtown area, as people gathered in defiance of an overnight curfew imposed after days of protests against Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and military deployment.
Late on Tuesday night local time, the LAPD wrote on X that “multiple groups” continued to congregate within the designated downtown curfew area. “Those groups are being addressed and mass arrests are being initiated,” it said.
The mayor, Karen Bass, had announced a 10-hour curfew for the area of downtown, where demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) have continued. The curfew was to run from 8pm to 6am, Bass said.
This would be more convincing if they didn’t have over 1/2 dozen officers cornering and then shooting a pedestrian with a rubber bullet: https://lemmy.world/post/31196039
You can’t take away their hobbies that’s unfair. Just think of those poor officers
