NEW: JUDGE SAYS CITY ATTORNEY HAS ANTI-PALESTINIAN BIAS

Last week, a judge ruled that @CityAttorneyLA's pro-Israel tweets + her baseless attempt to prosecute a pro-Palestine protestor due to the City Attorney's political beliefs constitutes evidence to show discriminatory intent In response, the People offer reasonable refutations of the circumstantial evidence offered by the defense on the intent element. The City Attorney's social media posts preceded Israel's military escalation and thus do not necessarily indicate disagreement with or bias against the protesters. But the defense asserts that an anti-Palestinian inference can be drawn from the language that "[e]very - 5 - moral person must support Israel defending her people," suggesting that those who oppose Israel's actions are immoral. (Flynn Declaration, at pp. 19-20.) When the social media posts a... The @CityAttorneyLA must turn over any all records, regardless of format, between Hydee & staff & any other entity pertaining to Hydee going after pro-Palestine protestors from October 2023 to the present

We will likely find more information about Hydee conspiring with AIPAC The foregoing analysis supports discovery of evidence pertaining to the Murgia claim. Scrutiny of the items requested reveals various bases for limitations upon that order: 1. Prosecution Communication with Other Entities: "Any and all records, regardless of format (including memorandum, reports, emails, and text messages on either official accounts and devices or on personal accounts and devices where official matters are discussed), of communications between current or former Los Angeles City Attorney's Office personnel (including but not limited to City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto...

Watch this interview:

“My parents have been in this house for 75 years and they've had the same insurance AND THESE INSURANCE PEOPLE DECIDED TO CANCEL THEIR FIRE. We're going through this and it just happened and they don't have fire insurance!” People don’t like constantly being fucked over by insurance companies. Huge if true.

BREAKING: LA City Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky has proposed allocating ONE MILLION DOLLARS of public money towards zionist defense training.

@CD5LosAngeles says specifically this is due to "incidents at UCLA, outside MoT, & 2 synagogues".... IT WAS THE ZIONISTS WHO ATTACKED!
Image This is who public $ is going to:

A private Zionist militia that works with LAPD to “protect” west side Zionists from “antisemitic hate”

Project 2025 is wild!! Trump wants to build a police training facility in Atlanta that will train police around the country & the IOF. A key part of it is republicans want to put 100,000 more cops on the streets. Trump wants to start trying protestors as “domestic terrorists” We can’t let this happen! We must stop project 2025! VOTE BLUE TO STOP FASCISM
Why does Biden want to hire 100,000 more police officers? Advocates fear plan is repeat of 1994 crime bill, ‘one of the great mistakes this country has ever made’, Josh Marcus and Alex Woodward report

There were 600 LAPD officers at UCLA on the night of the raid, which, according to @lacontroller, cost $583K

BUT IT WASNT JUST LAPD - there were HUNDREDS of both CHP & LASD there. A multi-million $ operation to sicc school shooters on students led by @MayorOfLA & @UCLAchancellor

UCLA’s contracts with CHP, LAPD reveal costs associated with police on campus
According to an agreement between UCLA and CHP, officers should help the University; however, nothing in the agreement requires officers to respond if it impedes their ability to provide law enforcement services in their own jurisdiction.  CHP did not respond to requests for comment regarding the number of personnel deployed to UCLA and hours clocked from April 30 to May 3 by the time of publication.  The Beverly Hills Police Department had a total of 13 officers on scene from 3 p.m. May 1 to 9:45 a.m. May 2, according to a statement from BHPD.  Other police forces present at UCLA during re...
This was one of the largest police escalations that we've seen recently in LA. The fact that this was a multi-agency operation means there was likely near 1,000 cops on campus that night.

THREAD: UCLA MOB ATTACK

There has been a lot of press around the IDs of UCLA Zionist mob attackers. However, there are key parts of story not being told.

1. Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Bill Ackman & others financially supported attackers
2. The ringleaders are not being implicated

We've documented the main instigators at UCLA. They disrupted & tore down barricades every night. The main instigators either spoke at ADL hate rally or helped set up the stage. These same instigators+ guy who's name was on the GoFundMe were all present on night of mob attack👇

This isn’t just an attack on journalists and community watchdogs. They were attacked because they were documenting students being handcuffed and lined up against a wall.

Please do not ignore this in your stories. @UCLAchancellor continues to send the cops after his students. It is not just an attack on press freedoms. It’s an attack on all of us.

This is fascist fucking shit. Include that in your stories.

It's not weird to anyone else that this "Israeli Special Ops Vet" was coordinating with the police last night during the raid of the UCLA encampment? Too many coincidences. ADL was there on Sunday, too.

STATEMENT FROM BESIEGED UCLA PALESTINE SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT

The only means of protection we had was each other. WE KEEP US SAFE.

The university’s hypocrisy
all too apparent. The university would rather see us dead than divest.

Call on UCLA to disclose, divest, end the silence The life-threatening assault we face tonight is nothing less than a horrifying, despicable act of terror. For over 7 hr, zionist aggressors hurled gas canisters, sprayed pepper spray, & threw fireworks and bricks into our encampment. They broke our barriers repeatedly, clearly in an attempt to kill us. Campus safety left within minutes, external security the university hired for "backup" watched, filmed, and laughed on the side as the immediate danger inflicted upon us escalated. Law enforcement simply stood at the edge of the lawn and refused to budge as we screamed for their hel...

Eyes on UCLA - Zionists freaks are counter protesting outside the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Some of these people have attempted to push through security to get into the camp.

FUCK A PERMIT

WE DON’T ASK FOR RIGHTS FROM GENOCIDAL SETTLER NATION STATES.

WE DONT GET PERMITS OR COLLABORATE WITH COPS

THREAD:

REASON 1:
YOU CANNOT TRUST COPS.

REASON 2: PERMITS CREATE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENTS FOR UNDOCUMENTED FOLKS.

REASON 3: PERMITS TURN A PROTEST INTO A PARADE.
It is hypocritical to chant “Whose streets? Our streets!” while asking for permission

THREAD: Last week at the Oscars, LAPD used their “crossbow” tactic to violently arrest @JTOWNACTION /PCC member, Steven.

Since the pigs deploy the crossbow regularly to target protestors, we felt the need for people OTG to be aware of it so that we can keep each other safe.
The crossbow tactic has been used at major protests from Fairfax to Echo Park Lake. LAPD deploys it to target anyone they believe to be leaders and/or doing “unlawful activity.” Their goal is to destabilize actions & maximize psychological + physical trauma.

In their own words:
Black text on white background: “Los Angeles Cross Bow Tactics The Los Angeles Police Department - no stranger to large disturbances - developed cross bow tactics to enhance classical formations. Commanders give commands and signals and in response, team members held in reserve in a column formation shoot through the line like and arrow from a cross bow to: 1.) Conduct a rescue. 2.) Effect an arrest. 3.) Encircle a group. 4.) Quickly secure ground abandoned by a rioting crowd. Crossbow is a dynamic technique that, when utilized as a powerful psychological effect on a crowd.”

THREAD: At Saturday's mobilization for Rafah, a shadow team arrested + brutalized pro-Palestinian protestors

While it’s no secret that LAPD actively infiltrate orgs and actions, we felt it necessary to spotlight plainclothes pigs deployed at protests as part of a “shadow team” LAPD states that the purpose of shadow teams is to look for and remove “agitators” or “trouble-makers” who are intent on “creating chaos or engaging in criminal behavior”, but in reality their purpose is to quash dissent, criminalize protest, and control behavior. Shadow Teams Shadow teams are a strategy the Department has used frequently during past crowd management events. Shadow teams consist of undercover officers who are in the crowd to monitor the mood of the crowd and to provide operational information to the incident commander. Such a strategy can be extremely effective if information can be quickly communicated to the incident commander. For example, the immediate arrest of a few agitators can potentially deescalate an incident by removing the 40 AN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT 2020 PROTEST RESPONSE trouble-ma...

🚨MUST READ THREAD:

Today, San Bernardino County Judge Shannon Faherty railroaded eight local activists. Details will likely go unreported in media (b/c they werent in the courtroom).

Most notably to start, Edin Enamarado asked for his attorney & the judge denied his request.
Image If media was 15 minutes late, they would have missed the whole thing!

The judge did not allow any of the defendants to have an attorney present. She said “no attorney? The court will appoint you one. For now, we are placing a no bail hold & keeping you for another week.”

#BREAKING: the judge has denied bail to all 8 arrestees. They will all be held in jail until their next hearing on December 26th.

This is extremely fucked up and political retaliation!! Please make noise about this.

Free the Justice 8!!! A lot of fucked up shit happened in this court this morning. We will do our best to debrief later on. We can’t trust that media will accurately report what is happening.

This is a clear abuse of authority by the entire system.
