LA: Hundreds March in "Death by Cop" Protest
April 8, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
On April 7, hundreds of people marched in downtown Los Angeles to the LA Board of Supervisors to protest the killing of 617 people by law enforcement in LA County since 2000. The protest was called by numerous groups, including the Youth Justice Coalition as one of the main initiators/organizers. Cardboard replicas of coffins of people killed were placed at the doors of the Board of Supervisors building, forcing those offices to close for hours.
