LAPD wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars tonight to protect the city of LA... from this 👇
...and this 👇
“The money that is being wasted on having all of these cops here right now can go... to house the unhoused... mental health... education... counselors in schools... transportation... clean water...it can go to so many things that would help our community.”
“I want to talk specifically about Daunte Wright, but first/I have to address the fact that there are all of these cops standing here watching us. The waste of money/the waste of OUR money/while we are/here peacefully trying to mourn one of our brothers is just sickening.”
“How many of you would/like to take your kids to school/[tell them you] love them & ‘goodnight’. Daunte will never get to do that again, along w 100s of other[s]/they’ll never get to do that again while you get to go home & beat your wife and kids/you fucking pigs. Monsters.”
