Hey all --
On the big concert-turned-police riot thing that happened on Monday, I heard reports of protestors using slingshots to hurl metal balls at police officers (specifically, I heard this on C-SPAN. I'm not sure if it was reported elsewhere). Now this is exactly the kind of ridiculous bs that I would expect the police to make up to justify their actions (especially since not a single police officer was hurt), but I just want to make sure. Was anyone there? Did anyone see anything like this happening?
THE ACLU IS CURRENTLY FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE LAPD'S VIOLENCE ON MONDAY NIGHT. THERE IS OVERWHELMING EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS, PHOTOS, AND VIDEO FOOTAGE OF WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. PLEASE SEE THE DOZENS OF EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AND STORIES POSTED TO THIS SITE FOR NOW. OBVIOUSLY, AS THE CASE DEVELOPES, INFORMATION WILL BECOME MORE COHESIVE.
