Angelenos opposing the raids took to the streets early on Friday evening, but their protest was quickly met by officers in riot gear. The LAPD declared the protests an unlawful assembly after 7pm.

[Mayor] Bass said she is going to meet with immigrant support groups to discuss plans for responding to situations like the mass ICE raids in the future.

"My message to them is that we are going to fight for all Angelenos regardless of when they got here, whether they have papers or not," she said. "We are a city of immigrants, and this impacts hundreds of thousands of Angelenos."

So do the police take orders from the mayor or not? People are trying to "fight for all Angelenos" but LAPD shitheads in riot armor are taking ICE's side. Either tell your cops to fuck off, admit that you're just a figurehead with no real power, or quit pretending you actually oppose this.

I think she has to act through the Board of Police Commissioners, and I'm not sure she can fire them before their terms are up. She could definitely threaten to not re-appoint them, but I don't know how much leverage that really buys her.

... so I tells him we got something for that, we got an unelected board of people that make all the decisions that actually matter and they don't involve the public at all and no elected politicians can do anything about 'em neither.

And the talent agent is just looking all horrified at all this, white as a sheet, and he squeaks out to me, "Dear lord, what do you call this system of government?"

And with a big smile I says "~~The Aristocrats!~~ Democracy!"

It seems like California's 2A laws are really helping right now.

I don’t think gun laws are what’s holding back protesting. This is where the streets were on fire during the Rodney King riots. Unless there’s a video of the most flagrant abuse of power (like the George Floyd murder) then people will continue to sit on their hands like a frog boiling in a pot of water. Sadly what’s happening now doesn’t seem to be enough to mobilize people.
