Authorities say no one was injured when L.A. County sheriff's deputies fired projectiles into a crowd protesting the fatal shooting of Dijon Kizzee.
The small neighborhood of Westmont is in the spotlight after two police shootings there this year. But residents want officials bring something to the community they think is missing: a message of hope.
In a tweet Monday evening, the Sheriff’s Department said it supports the community “peacefully” exercising its 1st Amendment rights. “However, we are concerned there are individuals from outside of the community, and state, wanting to incite riots,” thesaid. “Those individuals have already committed acts of vandalism, looting & assaults utilizing rocks, pipes & mortars. Everyone’s public safety is our priority. If you are in the area, please be aware of your surroundings so that you are not hurt by those inciting violence.
At the demonstration Monday night, protesters could be heard chanting, “No justice, no peace,” and, “No cops, no prison, total abolition.”
