I repeat, ICE and National Guard are not the only problem. LAPD has been a threat to our community for as long as we can remember. There's an entire sub-genre of hard boiled fiction devoted to the corrupt policing in LA. #JapaneseInternment #ZootSuitRiots #WattsRiots #RodneyKingRiots #ACAB

The all out attack on people of color that is Trump’s policy coupled with the formation of the ICE federal police force has made this bit of history relevant. Use police & public policy to oppress, oppose, and punish. Oppression!

I'm old and grew up in L.A. during the WattsRiots. Timely. The Panthers were no joke. Next up on the Ethnic Cleansing efforts by ICE on their agenda is the BlackCommunity. I've been waiting to see which warriors would show up....this is not going to be pretty...
