Want to know what LAPD harassment looks like?

I tape these cops not wearing masks and I leave. They come around corner & - over the loudspeakers - call me out by name. Why? FoxNews LA ran a story about LAPD that used my tweets(1/6) @LAPD_NoMask @ginasilvafox11 #BLM #DefundPolice

I turn the corner, and here they come driving down Sunset BLVD when they, over-the-speakers, call me out (BY NAME). Smh

3 mins later I see them again w/suspects lined up. I film. Rather than focus on his job he gets confrontational & asks me “am I compliant?”

He wasn’t tho: 2/6

So because I exercise my 1st amendment right to film any public employee doing their jobs in public, they get mad. But it’s stops like this that make me film. They have 4 suspects pulled out of the car, lined up facing a fense. One with cuffs on. Why? Well....

@OIGLABOPC

Well just minutes later then release them with...... just a ticket.

Pull them from the car. Search the people. Search the car. Cuff 1 person only to release ALL OF THEM and gave the driver...a ticket.

But then the veiled threats toward me start up.... 4/6 #Blm #DefundThePolice

Notice the professionalism shown by the minority officers. Latinos and black female were nice and cordial. But, surprising no one, the fragile white male officer starts-up with his veiled threats. Apparently I need to “be careful”. (5/6) @LAPDBBixler

Anyway, this is all because Fox News ran a story in LAPD not wearing masks (below). Covid is the responsible for majority of cops deaths in CA and US. They come in contact with dozens of people a day and may be shedding the virus

Wear a mask. 6/6
