Report from GC feminist who was at Wi Spa protest. I haven't give her twitter handle in case she doesn't want it out there:

Wi SPA: LAPD failed explicit assurance to me they'd be there to keep things under control. I sincerely hope nobody operating on that info from me is among the injured. IT IS NOT SAFE THERE, home now. Ant*ifa violence left and right. Pls see @MrAndyNgo's feed for updates.

This is what LAPD & Rampart Sergeants told me would not be allowed to happen @ Wi Spa. I asked explicitly if I could post what they said so ppl would know if they could expect they'd be safe & I really hope no one's injured as a result of that. If so, I'm terribly, terribly sorry

Nope. Not down for the LARP revival of Stanley Kubrick's Anthony Burgess' Clockwork Orange. Naught was accomplished but a victory that will further embolden antifa's Droogies. Are they just in charge of society now? Is this official dystopia? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

LAPD don't really have any rights in Los Angeles anymore either, like the right to enforce the law. The police know anything they do will be twisted and used against them, so they're at the point of just stand there and watch.

Decades ago, I used to attend antiwar protests in a wealthy area of LA and the LAPD were brutal to well-dressed, peaceful people expressing our right to protest, so I can only imagine how they are to people who seem economically-disadvantaged.

That being said, I'm not for defunding police, as I certainly have needed them in times of crisis, and as that would be terrible for women, but also for children, the elderly, and poorer people especially. But many US police forces do need to be reformed.

Thousands of US local law enforcement officials, including from California, have gone to Israel for "counter-terrorism" training by Israel's police, military and secret service; back in the US, the police then treat us all like Palestinians.

This practice needs to end. The police should not treat Americans as if they are the occupiers and we are rebellious serfs.

This guy’s an ass (of course), but, I agree with his opinion in this video (24 minutes max) on the need for stress training. I do this! And he emphasizes : get home alive/stay alive!
