LAPD officers used force against journalists during abortion rights protests downtown Friday night, ignoring recently expanded protections for them.
Over the course of several hours, LAPD officers repeatedly ignored recently expanded protections established for journalists covering protests in the state and used physical force to remove them from areas where they had a right to be, journalists said.
“After all of the legwork that’s been done to try and prevent this with LAPD over the last couple of years, it’s heartbreaking to see this repeat in the field over and over,” Rose said. About 7:45 p.m., officers had cleared the freeway and were moving across an overpass when independent photojournalist Joey Scott and L.A. Taco reporter Lexis-Olivier Ray began filming them from the sidewalk.
“Their demeanor was just very sarcastic and just not really communicative,” Ray said. “There were no protesters there, there was no threat, and I was kind of surprised that they responded like that.” “I haven’t seen officers this aggressive in a long time. Police violently handled other members of the press as well,” Braslow wrote on Twitter shortly after 9 p.m.“Last night was some of the most egregious acts of violence I’ve seen against protesters and press in a while,” Scott said.
