LAPD Accused of Deliberately Trapping Protesters Before Curfew
Footage from multiple TikTok videos shows Los Angeles police officers allegedly confining peaceful protestors before a citywide curfew, preventing their departure and leading to numerous arrests. These videos depict demonstrators trapped between a building and a line of officers, with claims of unlawful detainment well before the curfew’s 8:00 p.m. start time. One user reported approximately 25 protestors surrounded by 250 officers. Legal action is anticipated in response to these alleged actions, while the LAPD has yet to release a statement.
