Sheriff’s deputies fired less-than-lethals at protesters in South LA tonight, apparently in response to activists carrying a bookshelf. According to activist sources, there have been 6 arrests. This marks the 7th day of protests of the killing of Dijon Kizzee by LASD.

Another angle of events. Here, the object is described as a desk.

Member of the press hit by a round last night. You can actually see @jintakhan in the first video at one point.

According to a source, of the 6 people arrested last night, at least 4 were “street medics.” Only one has been released while the rest have been transferred to Twin Towers.

The other week, the @nypost ran a story about concern over crime in Beverly Hills. It quotes a resident saying her neighbor’s house was “firebombed with Molotov cocktails” during the 2020 BLM protests. Neither BHPD nor BHFD could find any evidence of this happening.
BHPD Lt. Giovanni Trejo told me "I tried every buzz word I can think of. It is possible it’s in the system, but it was entered under a different title."

BHFD Deputy Chief Joe Matsch said the most recent record for a Molotov cocktail he could find was Nov. 5, 2019.
It took both agencies time to go through their systems and run down possibilities before they could respond to me. In that time, the article circulated across the web and within a community already shaken by legitimate tragedy.

Twitter locked me out of my account for nearly 2 days because of false claims of violating its new policy on posting private media. Both reported tweets are from an anti-mask protest & have clear news value. I have reached out to Twitter for comment. ImageImage
The first reported Tweet shows a protester calling a shopper at Ralph’s a “mask Nazi.” This took place at a “maskless shopping” protest in January that subsequently received major media attention after @emilyytayylor and my reporting.
The second tweet shows the same protester, a rightwing activist and videographer, refusing to leave the Westfield Century City Mall, telling a mall official that “no other group is oppressed like Trump supporters.” He compares Trump supporters to Black people in the 40s.

New in @BHCourier: I got the arrest data for BHPD's Rodeo Drive Team, a task force charged with policing the Business District after an uptick in calls. The subject of a proposed class action by @AttorneyCrump, RDT made 90 arrests, 80 of whom were Black. beverlyhillscourier.com/2021/10/24/bhp…
This number is lower than the widely-cited 106 arrests with 105 arrests of Black individuals claimed in the lawsuit.

However, the data shows that BHPD made 107 arrests for unemployment insurance fraud, 99 of which were of Black people.
This figure includes arrests by the RDT, but also adds in arrests by officers not on the task force.

A group of anti-vaccine/anti-vaccine mandate activists protested at Walk to School Day in Beverly Hills today. Protesters followed Mayor Bob Wunderlich from the civic center to Hawthorne Elementary School, engaging in heated exchanges with parents.
In the morning around 8:15, the group confronted Mayor Robert Wunderlich. He proposed that three members of the group meet him in the afternoon to allow him to walk to school with parents and kids.
A number of Beverly Hills Police Department officers provided security throughout the event.

“I’m willing to go lose everything…even my life.”
UCLA Health said in a statement that it was acting in accordance with the state public health order and UC policy.
Dr. Rake has not responded to a request for comment or to additional questions.
