Tonight, LA Sheriff’s deputies rushed a group of protesters, firing less lethal munitions and flash grenades. For the next few hours, LASD combed through nearby streets for protesters. Sources report 2 arrests. This marks the 8th day of protests for the killing of Dijon Kizzee.
LASD had declared an unlawful assembly—something they reportedly did not do last night before opening fire.
