Socialist Party L.A. Local Freedom School with the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition

By msoltysik

When: Friday, December 12th, 7pm

Where: 2617 Hauser Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA

What’s going on:

Join the fight against the use of Drones by LAPD.

At a community town hall on Nov 8th over 160 people spoke unanimously against LAPD Drones. The LAPD can’t be trusted, and Angelenos won’t stand by and watch the rapid militarization of police!

In May 2014, LAPD received two Draganflyer X6 Drones from Seattle Police Department. Contrary to earlier statements by Mayor Garcetti and Chief Beck about seeking community input, the Drones are now in the possession of LAPD Inspector General Alex Bustamante. On September 12th, Mayor Garcetti publicly reneged on his “commitment” to seek community input by endorsing AB 1327, a bill passed by California legislature authorizing the use of drones by law enforcement. The bill was vetoed by Governor Brown on September 29th.

People in Seattle stopped their police department from using Drones, we can do it too in Los Angeles. Over 2000 Angelenos have already signed a petition. Be a part of this growing movement. Speak Out – Take Action!
