LAPD s handling of summer protests criticized as independent review nears completion

LAPD s handling of summer protests criticized as independent review nears completion Kevin Rector © Provided by The LA Times An independent review of the LAPD s actions during last summer s protests is nearing completion. Independent law enforcement analysts wrapping up a review of the Los Angeles Police Department s handling of last summer s mass protests got an earful during two public listening sessions Thursday, as activists and protesters blasted the LAPD as abusive and residents questioned how the unrest was allowed to spiral into chaos. Echoing critiques that have been made across the city and in federal court for months, many who called into the National Police Foundation s hourlong Zoom sessions described LAPD officers in riot gear surrounding and antagonizing crowds of protesters, lashing out violently with their batons and shooting people with hard-foam projectiles at close range, at times causing serious injuries.
