The Daunte Wright vigil in LA has now turned into a march. LAPD now bordering both sides.
A crowd of about 200 have now shut down the intersection of Cahuenga and Hollywood
Chants of "ACAB"
LAPD still trailing as protesters continue moving east down Hollywood Blvd
"You guys are a waste of space. Fuck you guys."
Protesters chanting "Cops and Klan go hand in hand" followed by "Say his name" while making their way back to Daunte Wright's vigil.
Protesters have made it back to Daunte Wright's vigil at Sunset and Vine after marching a huge loop around Hollywood. Police made their presence known, but no arrests were made.
Police are getting ready to move in.
Dispersal order given
This is the response to what is now about 15 protesters.
Approximately 50 police cars now moving out.
From earlier in the night... a group of people on motorcycles did burnouts to show their support for protesters
LAPD were intent on intimidation before the candlelight vigil even got started. These were the 3 corners at Sunset and Vine as people gathered to light candles and sing songs. An additional 20+ police were hiding behind the Chase bank where the vigil took place. #DaunteWright
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.”

My last paid gig was in Dec. Unemployment (which doesn’t come close to covering monthly living expenses) is supposed to transfer every 2 wks, but is only depositing once a month. I’m 2/mo behind on rent. And $1400* is supposed to bring relief? How are the rest of you doing?
Other countries are giving their citizens thousands of dollars a month to survive while our elected officials fight over decreasing $400 to $300 to motivate people to “get back to work.” I’m ready & willing to work, but the gigs aren’t there. What if I had a family to support?
I’m struggling, but I can’t imagine what others w/ families to support must be dealing with. And yet our politicians can’t do a fucking thing. They give tax breaks to billionaires but can’t give pennies in comparison to the people who are responsible for building that wealth.

Landed on an anti-Semitic article about Hollywood written by someone named Diego Vida for the Tehran Times. This person (who I don't think actually exists) appears in earlier articles as an "Italian filmmaker" who worked on Hollywood films & moved to Iran. tehrantimes.com/news/457531/Ho…
This is Diego Vida's LinkedIn... stating he does not have Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram linkedin.com/in/diegovida/
Here is an "interview" he did with the Tehran Times a couple years ago... tehrantimes.com/news/439128/It…
