LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The city of Los Angeles today requested that a judge modify her order restricting the Los Angeles Police Department's use of projectile launchers that are deemed “less lethal'' ahead of anticipated May Day protests.
The order comes after Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles filed a request for a temporary restraining order against the LAPD in light of a March 25 protest in Echo Park and a March 13 demonstration in Hollywood in which police and protesters clashed and a member of the press was struck by a projectile and knocked out, suffering a concussion, according to court documents.
