Greetings! I was OTG at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, where a froup of activists / legal team and the family of Nick Burgos had a press conference and short march

Nick Burgos was shot nine times by a deputy while a patient. Background from @ShotOn35mm here: lataco.com/ucla-hospital-…
Arnoldo Casillas, one of the attorneys working for the family: “It’s amazing to all of us here that they would put two armed police officers to guard another police officer immediate next to a ward where you have mental health patients in crisis”
“Law enforcement should never, ever be the first filter when dealing with patients,” says the lead attorney working for the Burgos family.
Maria Burgos, the sister of Nick Burgos: “I can’t tell you how hard it is to be here…” …”it hurts more because it was my idea to bring him here to get help.” She alleges that after attempting to locate him, the hospital stated they had no record of him.

Good afternoon! I was OTG for a protest “in solidarity with the people of Cuba” at the Walk Of Fame in Hollywood. Many signs saying “#soscuba ,” American / Cuban flags, and chants of “Cuba Libre.”

A few people with Threeper tattoos are mixed in the crowd as well.
Crowd got to about 40-50 people at its peak, with demonstrators walking into the intersection when the traffic lights allowed.
Definitely some diverse opinions- some are in favor of reforming the government, some in favor of anti-Communist revolution, some calling Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down. Common statements revolve around a perceived inability of the government to provide food and handle COVID. ImageImage

Good morning! I’m here at a protest and counter-protest at WI SPA- recently a viral video of a woman upset at a trans woman attending the spa and being naked was released, which led to the story being featured on many programs like Tucker Carlson. One right leaning man is leaving
Here’s some b/g from @CBSLA - losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/06/30/kor…

It should also be noted that @_preciouschild , who streams at protests received death threats from several accounts.
Several more right wing protestors have arrived- currently the numbers stand at about 40 supporting the WISPA business, with 3 protesting the business but the protest against the business is in a few hours

Good evening! I’m here at the Newton Police Station, where a press conference is being held “to demand answers and accountability for the detonation of a reportedly ten pound explosive Wednesday…” according to the @CMTYCtrlPolice Instagram page.
One woman, who says she is from the South LA community says “If they really cared for the community, they would have handled it a lot better,” touches on what she feels has been bias in the community.
Crowd is about 30-40, including media present. LAPD officers in front of the entrance to the building. Several LAPD cruisers on a nearby corner with “riot gear,” helmets on dashboard.

Park Rangers now at Brooks Avenue, one block past Park. Some words between activists and city workers. Just overheard @PplsCityCouncil tell a city employee “if there’s cops, people are gonna freak out.”
Parks & Recreation setting up a tent for intake.
One woman, Chanele, being offered housing. She stated to me that she had been waiting since January and accepted. I’ll follow up.

Good morning! I’m here in Venice Beach, where according to signs posted throughout there will be a major cleaning starting at 7am. On the flyers, it lists “zone 1” as the location - part of several different “major cleanings” Image
A new addition to the area where larger clusters of tents exist: signs which state “personal property remaining in the park after the park closes may be removed and impounded and may be discarded by the city if not claimed within 90 days of the City’s removal…”
Venice Beach is definitely an interesting place during the morning: some members of @UrbanAlchemyUA are doing some trash cleanup on the north end of the boardwalk as residents begin waking up throughout.

Wanted to address the detainment and citation today in a different thread. As we arrived at this location, we were greeted by an LASAN worker who initially told the group of 3 (myself included) - apparently I was rolling accidentally.
LASAN agrees that a location off to the corner is okay. Cool. Sight line on what’s going on, off away from the trucks. Genuinely an okay deal. I’m not sure what happened afterwards - @FilmThePoliceLA has footage of the gap between this video and the next one.
Again, there’s some gaps which @FilmThePoliceLA has footage of and will provide. Group is told they’ll be arrested if they don’t leave immediately, begin walking away and a @StreetWatchLA volunteer detained. Then, @FilmThePoliceLA . Finally, my phone thrown to the ground and me.
