As is the case in many other parts of the country, activists and protesters in L.A. are keeping the pressure on local leaders to call out and punish police brutality, even as new claims of excessive force crop up.
The L.A. Police Commission heard from civil rights activists and lawyers yesterday, who presented a list of demands, including a ban on so-called less-than-lethal weapons — like batons and rubber bullets — at protests.
And even as the civilian watchdog group reviews claims of police violence during protests against police violence, new claims of brutality keep cropping up in and around L.A. County. Video shot by a bystander in Compton on May 31 shows three L.A. County sheriff’s deputies violently arresting 24-year-old Dalvin Price, who is black, after, Price says, he willingly got out of his car when he noticed their vehicle behind him.
In the video, Price can be seen on the ground — and saying out loud, “I’m on the ground” — when one deputy holds Price's head down with his leg and punches him, and another knees Price five times in the side.
That this instance of police violence happened on day five of an international uproar over police violence only serves to drive home the point. Keep reading for more on what’s happening in L.A. today, and stay safe out there.
