Waking up in restraints to realize he was suspected of being involved in the shooting that nearly killed him was bad enough for 38yo Jermaine Welch. But he hadn't anticipated learning LAPD might have been the ones that shot him.

He'd been out making deliveries on the night of June 3 when he came upon a crowd at Broadway/Manchester. He heard someone yell "F*ck the cops!", saw a bright light, and heard a burst of shots. Then the intersection exploded in gunfire. 
He knew he'd been hit and he had to get out of there. His hand was mangled - he'd thrown it in front of his face to protect his head - and the bullet that had burrowed in through his ribs had damaged a lung.
On May 30, I got a text from Jermaine. It was a photo of himself at a #BlackLivesMatter protest downtown. Photog @bencamach0 had captured him walking past a burning trash can. Jermaine was so proud to have participated in the peaceful call for the reimagining of public safety.
I had first met Jermaine a year earlier, at Crenshaw and Slauson. He was waiting for the funeral procession for #NipseyHussle to come through and he stood out in his white suit.
And of course those shoes were one-of-a-kind. He'd had them custom painted with Nip's likeness.

I get the point...but am also dreading how many urbanists RTs this essay will get and how it will be wielded against BIPoC planning folks making more nuanced arguments latimes.com/opinion/story/…
Like, this only makes sense if you don't see freeway construction as part of a continuum.
I wrote about this, too, in my deep dive into the history of South Central via the story of #NipseyHussle la.streetsblog.org/2019/08/15/nip…

Gentrification isnt simply “neighborhood improvement” but is SYSTEMIC use of private forces & PUBLIC POLICY 2 forcibly displace low-income & vulnerable residents/biz owners from land & replace them w/more affluent ppl/uses to generate capital returns. Just ✔️ the root word. /3
