A few more pics of DTLA today 




In the last one the guy on the right is a freelance photo journalist. I talked to him for bit and he told me yesterday he got hit in the foot with the possible rubber bullet. He said it didn't pierce the skin but hurt like hell. He had a fellow journalist get hit with a piece of a exploding tear gas can that embedded itself in his leg and had to go to the hospital to get her removed. 

I even talked to some California state troopers. I didn't get pictures of that because I wanted to come in on friendly terms. Their advice was if you want to stay safe down there avoid the big groups. Those are the ones they watch out for. If You're just walking around by yourself like I was. You probably don't have to worry about getting scooped up or shot at. But there was two main groups that were going around in opposite directions and would meet up and cheer and there would be a lot of noise. Cops will put down their visors on their riot helmets and get in ready positions whenever the large groups would get close. The trooper I talked to said he was from far away in northern California. I asked him if he's getting fed and hydrated. His buddy pulled a box of Mike and Ikes out of his shirt pocket and said this is his dinner. And you be surprised. Not surprised. A lot of law enforcement people are not white. So yeah who are they Genociding
