Los Angeles – Los Angeles police officers launched more than 1,000 projectiles at the demonstrators in one day in June, when the demonstrators retreated against the Immigration campaign for the Trump administration and the decision to deploy the National Guard to the second largest city in the country.
The police department issued a report on Monday on the use of force against demonstrators who included numbers on bean bags, rubber and foam tours, and tear gas that was published during the protest days in Los Angeles.
On June 6, the police launched 34 rounds in about 100 people. On June 8, the police fired 1040 projectors on about 6000 people, including 20 CS GAS, a type of tear gas. Six injuries were reported as a result of those projectiles.
The ministry said that there are 584 police officers responding that day. The demonstrators prevented a major highway and set self -driving cars on fire.
The report was related to Josh Parker, Deputy Director of Policy at the New York University Police Project.
Parker said: “The feeling that I got this data is that if this is the way you shine in protest, you are wrong.”
The protests used the use of these types of munitions by applying the law under checking. After the journalists They shotA federal judge granted a temporary restriction order to prevent the Los Angeles police from using rubber projectiles and other ammunition against correspondents.
A demonstrator was beaten and lost his finger against civil rights against Los Angeles and the Sharif Province administration.
In 2021, California adheres to the use of lower munitions to try to control the crowd. The police cannot aim “randomly” to a crowd, in its head, neck, or any other vital organs. They also cannot shoot only due to the violation of the curfew, verbal threats towards the officers, or the lack of compliance with the directives provided by the application of the law, such as when they orders illegal assembly of separation.
Parker said: “Seeing this large number of projectiles that have been unloaded in a relatively short period of time gives me great concern that the law and the practices that were violated.”
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. President Jim McDunil said in a statement on June 23 by Los Angeles Times that LAPD plans to “a comprehensive evaluation of every force use incident.”
McDONEL said that the days of protests in “serious, liquid and violent conditions” left 52 officers suffering from injuries that require medical treatment. He said that the officers were justified in their actions to prevent further damage.
Tensions An escalation in the center of Los Angeles On June 8, when the National Guard forces arrived at federal buildings.
The report said: “The instigators in the buildings destroyed the crowd, threw rocks, broken pieces of concrete, Molotov cocktails, and other things towards law enforcement officers.”
Many demonstrators left in the evening, but some formed a barrier of chairs in a street and threw things on the police on the other side. Others standing on the 101st highway, heading south of concrete, rocks, electric motorcycles, and fireworks in the high road patrol officers in California and their cars on the highway.
The report said that the police issued many illegal assembly orders that closed the demonstrations in several blocs from the city center of Los Angeles, but the crowd remained and used munitions to put the situation under control.
The box, which was read, was “other escalation techniques or other alternatives to the power of attempts” was empty.
Parker said that the departments should be planned when the crowd begins to throw things or be wild, and rely on crowd management techniques.
He said: “It is important that law enforcement agencies not to provoke the crowd unnecessarily” in the language or aggressive weapons offered.
The Los Angeles MPs have been very honored to use LAPD for shells. With more than 80 deputies responding, the administration published more than 2,500 projectiles on June 8, the agency said last week. He also said that there are “hundreds of thousands” of people.

Jeff Winnger, a retired, who provides experts ’testimony to court cases, said that the returns reported by the Los Angeles police and its deputies are high, especially given a few deputies sent by the Ministry of Sharif, retired Lieutenant Los Angeles Jeff Winnger, who provides experts in court cases.
“I do not think that law enforcement employees or leaders really understand the extent of this law, and the restrictions it provides,” he said. “They only return to old practices.”
