On this day 49 years ago, former Times journalist Ruben Salazar was killed after being struck by a tear-gas projectile thrown inside the Silver Dollar Bar by an L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy. Salazar was killed while covering the Chicano Moratorium. lat.ms/2zAPGqh
The Sheriff’s Department called his death a tragic accident. Records obtained by The Times and interviews with Salazar’s friends show that he clashed repeatedly with the LAPD as the Mexican American civil rights movement roiled L.A.'s Eastside.

Through his death, Salazar became an iconic figure. Parks, schools and a U.S. Postal Service stamp bear his name. He instantly became a martyr for the Chicano civil rights movement. And he became a lasting inspiration for a generation of Latino journalists who followed.

Correction: the tear gas projectile was shot, not thrown, inside the Silver Dollar Bar

Seniors are perhaps the most vulnerable to California’s rising rents and evictions of any age group, disproportionately impacted by no-fault evictions. The threat of displacement and loss of community can take a mental and physical toll on seniors. lat.ms/2NDF1U9
Even when not facing eviction, seniors who depend on fixed incomes have a harder time weathering rent increases, even modest rises allowed under rent control. In 2016, 41.6% of renters 80 or older paid more than half their income on housing. 📸: @LizMoughon
Rent hikes have been blamed for driving people of all ages into homelessness, but living on the streets can be particularly traumatic for seniors. In 2018, the tally of homeless people 62 and older in the greater L.A. area surged 22%, to nearly 5,000. lat.ms/2NDF1U9

U.S. officials claim that Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign of economic sanctions against Iran does not affect ordinary Iranians. However, the sanctions have been felt heavily on the streets of Iran. A report from @melissaetehad and @rmost12: lat.ms/344bokE
Iran’s most vulnerable citizens are suffering the brunt of a drop in foreign investments and oil exports, massive inflation, a plummeting currency and rising prices for food, clothing and medicine. 📸: Atta Kenare/AFP/Getty Images lat.ms/344bokE
No longer able to afford fresh food, some Iranians in middle-class neighborhoods have resorted to buying rotting tomatoes, grapes, apples and peaches that grocery store salesmen put aside every day at dusk. 📸: Atta Kenare/AFP/Getty Images lat.ms/344bokE

Mayor of Lancaster says an @LASDHQ #deputy was shot by a #SNIPER.

The rookie deputy was walking in the sheriff’s station parking lot when he was shot by someone in a nearby mental health facility. That building overlooks the sheriff’s station parking lot bit.ly/31XPpdw
The suspect is reportedly somewhere inside the mental health facility.

The LA County Sheriff’s deputy is in the hospital, but is expected to recover. His bullet proof vest reportedly deflected the bullet. I’m told he is a young, rookie deputy.
A @LASDHQ Captain tells us the injured deputy is just 21-years-old. He is a patrol trainee who has been with the department for a year. He is in good spirits, and is going to be OK.

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”

@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

Former Broward County Sheriff's Deputy Scot Peterson will face criminal charges for failing to act during the Parkland shooting. politi.co/2Ioj3Au via @politico
Florida’s prosecuting a Sheriff’s Deputy for failure to be a good guy with a gun but still ain’t doing jack shit to prevent mass shootings. Only side the GOP’s on is the guns’. 😒
How’s about banning and buying back assault weapons and high capacity magazines so all these aspiring good guys with guns won’t be outgunned by Florida Man when it’s their turn to heed the call? What kind of sense does it even make that we have to gameplan this crazy ass shit? 🤷🏾‍♀️
