I got a few Latinx folks and a legion of ICE pigs coming for my neck at the same time… Still, I SAID WHAT I SAID… Solidarity does not require silence. My latest in @thelasentinel. (I’ll pick up on the ICE bs next week.) #LeimertPark #Africatown lasentinel.net/i-said-what-i…

I lived in Leimert Park until I got engaged, bought a house up Crenshaw, and built a family. Leimert remained our homeplace. The park is where we celebrated and protested.

According to LAPD’s own report, crime is down by double digits in every area, and as much as 27% in some areas. After drops the previous years as well. So, why do we need more police??? Oh. We don’t.
