Good evening! I’m OTG at the Getty House / Mayor’s Mansion, where activists are planning to protest the signing of amendment 41.18, which would prohibit prohibit "sitting, lying, or sleeping or storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property in the public right-of-way."
Seeing some unmarked cars patrolling the area and one vehicle just parked inside the lot.
@SvenAntifaCat is here, greeting photographers.
3 LAPD Officers are here, asked for hi organized the protest. Jeering from the crowd in response.
Crowd getting a bit louder now, yelling “F* Garcetti / he’s f*ing up our city”
Lieutenant clarifying some of the rules for protesting the Mansion. I’m no expert, but I’d say there very little likelihood of the group remaining 100 feet away.
3 LAPD officers stationed at the Mayor’s Mansion approached the crowd, then left as protestors jeered them.
LAPD officers now fully away, outside of the helicopter above and unmarked vehicle inside the lot.
Things written in paint and marker, seeing some signs which say “F* Garcetti Arm The Houseless,” “Housing Is A Human Right.” Some garbage poured in the front lawn.
Some TP strewn throughout the front lawn. Signing off for the night.

Good evening! There’s yet another anti mask demonstration outside Harlowe in West Hollywood, which have been going on for several days. As they prepared, there were several crackles that sounded like tasers. Yesterday, the group sent @VPS_Reports to the emergency room.
Here’s a thread with several overlapping videos showing him being surrounded, chased, pushed and struck.
Seeing several in tactical vests, several weopon pouches, several knives among the anti vaccine group. Several obstructing their faces with umbrellas and flag gaiters. Several “lookie loos” nearby.

Violence outside Harlowe at an anti-mask protest once again, this time on @VPS_Reports - putting together a rough timeline thread but leasing with this video.
This appears to be the first video of interest. A man (let’s call it a counter-protestor, despite seeming to be alone) shoves one of the anti-mask protestors who was shouting via megaphone. The counter protestor is then caught and restrained while several kick and punch him.
The first video of the day @VPS_Reports posted, which overlaps with the previous video but shows the moment where the crowd begins to turn towards @VPS_Reports

With this in mind, it’s clear that they were filming and hadn’t committed any violent acts beforehand.

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.

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.

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.
