Alright folks - if you've been in the @ThrivanceGroup's #DICEEthics Seminar with @DrDesThePlanner here is your reading list, cultivated from over 50 pages of Chat logs. Let's go.
First topic - Ariana Brown and her work on community, arianabrown.com
Next up: Kimberley Jones - How Can We Win - what are the acceptable forms of protest when communities are consistently rendered hopeless?
Since we're all talking about the Proud Boys now, will people care more about Sheriff Villanueva having had a Proud Boys fan speak at his anti-BLM press conference in early September? In this Buzzfeed photo she poses w/ Enrique Tarrio (id'd as a leader in the LAT photo below). 
Elsa Aldeguer also boasted to Buzzfeed that day that she'd just organized "the biggest anti-Muslim rally ever": buzzfeednews.com/article/jamesp…
Villanueva invited her to speak at a press conference aimed at slamming BLM and those protesting the shooting of #DijonKizzee. She blamed BLM for breaking Jesus at a rally to open churches back up. She also has a thing for racist memes:
People can get race baited into this numerical coincidence but missed the fact they keep getting the same subpar lawyer who couldn’t put George Zimmerman away...
This comparison is stupid, Ms. Till didn’t make a deal for 12 million.

3 White officers shoot up a house, based on drug information seized from Jamarcus Glover, and unknowingly kill Breonna Taylor, no trial, mom accepts 12million.
VS.
White woman lies on Till, 12 White men knowingly go out and lynch a boy, get off after a TRIAL.
No Relation!

If we are going to argue, let’s not go back 65 years ago...
Sept. 22nd, day before Breonna Taylor’s decision, who is it AGAIN? #DijonKizzee
Keep getting gaslighted by these house negroes who signed oaths to be bonded to your oppressors.

Finishing a companion piece to my look at the Sheriff's blatant falsehoods around the shooting of #DijonKizzee and I am still struck by how little traction this story has gotten.

In part, I think the challenge is that the story acknowledges Kizzee was armed. Police narratives have groomed media into seeing a 1-to-1 relationship btwn being armed/gangbanger & intention/aggression/criminality that complicates the story for those seeking more perfect victims.
I've made multiple threads about why it is important to talk about how/why folks might be armed and will talk about it more in the forthcoming story, but just for reference...
Yesterday, the sheriff came out and offered a new version of the killing of #DijonKizzee in which BOTH deputies fired because they had been looking down the barrel of the gun Kizzee raised. Except the video they provided shows him dropping the gun before the 2nd draws his.
I've slowed it down and put the cursor in the area where you can see the gun fall at about 10 seconds in. At this .25 speed, the gap btwn that and 2nd deputy's drawing of his weapon is easier to see. #DijonKizzee @BenCrumpLaw
For reference, this is where the gun landed. It's the bottom blue arrow. The other two point to clothes dropped as he fell.
Per @LASDHQ today, not only did both deputies see #DijonKizzee bend over & pick up the gun, but the 2nd deputy was said to have been staring down the barrel of the gun. At ~25 secs in, however, you see the gun hit the ground near the pole/truck back end.
The second deputy does not begin to fire his weapon til approximately 27 seconds in. For reference, the gun can be spotted here at the bottom of the frame...in the same place it is seen landing in the video. [the other two arrows point to his clothing] #DijonKizzee
So... Villanueva is handling this well
This 3 p.m. press conference on the murder of #DijonKizzee is about to be a serious sh*t show. I feel like I need to get my bingo card ready.
Watch along with me:
Sheriff Villanueva has accused the media & protesters as "fanning the flames of hatred." Yet he asked Elsa Aldeguer, who regularly flashes the White Power symbol, to speak during his virulently anti-BLM press conf. last Thurs. on the #DijonKizzee protests.
Elsa from Tujunga had accused BLM of breaking Jesus at her Open the Churches rally. She also recently posted a meme depicting Pres. Obama as a chimp and about her allegiance with the Three Percenters.
Also featured was Joe Collins, republican challenger to Maxine Waters seat. He's fun.
here is the "yes,l agree that the sun rises in the east" disclaimer: no one should have to be shooting cops, cops shouldn't have to be shooting others (but there is a lot more to cops using deadly force)
But the way that @CBSNews @CBS8 & @nbcsandiego are covering the #ComptonShooting of LASD deputies lays bare broadcast #journalism's dependence on quick, easy content from reliable sources at the expense giving viewers a fuller context.
Context to why someone is this volatile world would shoot an LASD deputy could be explained by the suspicious death of #AndresGuardado

Almost 2 weeks after 2 LASD deputies fatally shot #DijonKizzee protesters are meeting just yards from where he was killed in South LA. They’ll be marching soon. One organizer says: “We want the community to see us and feel us.”
Today follows week of nightly protests outside South LA sheriff’s station. @NLG_LosAngeles held press conference outside station Friday to share witness accounts of police brutality.
Deputies responded by closing in on the group, 1 grabbed a legal observer. IG: vishal.p.singh

Hundreds marching now for #DijonKizzee and #AnthonyWeber, a teen killed by sheriff’s deputies in 2018 in same neighborhood as Kizzee
Why did @LASDHQ and @LACoSheriff invite Elsa Aldeguer, who recently (re)declared her allegiance w/ the Three Percenters & reposted a vile meme depicting Obama as a monkey, to speak at the press conference on the protests over the killing of #DijonKizzee? facebook.com/elsa.aldeguer
For anyone curious about the Three Percenters - they protected the white supremacists at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, among other very-fine-people-type activities: revealnews.org/blog/hate-repo…
There are multiple photos of Elsa posing with Proud Boys and flashing the white power symbol on her FB page from Trump rallies she attended around the country...
This press conf. is wild: "I was invited today to speak about BLM... I usually have gatherings in Tujunga which I had to stop... I had an event called Open the Churches rally. BLM came and broke my cross, broke Jesus Christ...We support law and order."
one of the early speakers is Joe Collins, a republican running against Maxine Waters. also not a fan of Black Lives Matter:
There's a case to be made about ensuring that protests don't negatively impact an already profoundly impacted community. And that protesters engage those actually doing community-based work, which is the point that Kevin "Twin" Orange, a long time interventionist there makes.
More than 200 protesters outside South LA LASD station demanding justice for #DijonKizzee. About 75 deputies in riot gear stand guard yards away.
Pastor Eddie Anderson stands on flatbed in front of LASD’s South LA station demanding whichever deputies killed #DijonKizzee be fired and prosecuted.
The cousin of #DijonKizee struggles to get out her thanks to the crowd for their support.
“I am angry. We are angry. The family is angry.”

#DijonKizzee was murdered IN MY BACK YARD. Until I knew his name my dad & I were terrified it was my brother. I have to go out tomorrow and see all of the blood left behind. Lapd had me blocked inside of my house and had his body lying on my property for hours.
I came home from work to my dad telling me he heard gunshots, I was convinced they were fireworks. A helicopter started hovering so close to my house and when it stayed for hours I knew something was up. & sure enough my dad was right. News said someone was shot-
On budlong & 109. But actually it was 109 place. I’m watching the live news stream...& I see my back yard. My. Yard. And I immediately went into panic mode because my brother hadn’t come home yet. The more they describe the guy the more terrified I was
