By City News Service Apr 23, 2021 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.

LAPD Issues Directives Restricting Projectile Launchers Against Protesters

By City News Service Apr 20, 2021 LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A day after a federal judge issued an order restricting the LAPD s use of “less lethal projectile launchers against crowds of protesters, Chief Michel Moore today announced two directives restricting officers use of the devices. Chief Michel Moore told the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners that the department directives were issued Tuesday morning. One directs an immediate moratorium on the use of 37mm launchers. The second directive restricts the use of 40mm launchers to officers who have completed training on the weapon. It also restricts the officers from targeting the head, neck, eyes face or spine of a person with the 40mm launcher and restricts officers from using it against anyone other than those who “pose a threat of serious bodily injury to others, including police officers, Moore said.
