BREAKING: My colleague @josie_huang has been detained in Compton by #LASD deputies. We don't know why. I know her to be an extremely competent and responsible journalist. This video of five deputies on top of her is highly disturbing.

#DijonKizzee, a 29yo Black man, was fatally shot by @LASDHQ deputies. Cops stopped him while riding his bike for alleged “vehicle code violation.” They say he ran, dropped clothes and handgun. He didn't pick it up, but cops shot him in the back 20+ times then left him for hours.

If you’re just learning about Deputy Gangs in the LA Sheriff’s ranks, here is a twitter thread with all the info to inform yourselves.

I’ve compiled a list of articles and stories on “DEPUTY GANGS” like the “BANDIDOS” in this thread for anyone interested in learning more. It’s worth a read and retweet for everyone to inform themselves on the deep rooted issues plaguing Los Angeles Sheriffs departments.

There were 105 people killed within a mile of Dymally High School in South L.A. over the last five years.
That's the highest number surrounding any public high school in the county.

One of our vital @CAPublicHealth scrapers logging COVID-19 data is broken.
Why? A simple HTML list was replaced with a new "design" that includes sample text like "Ad vegan excepteur butcher vice lomo. Leggings occaecat craft beer farm-to-table."

Not everyone has internet access.
So @KPCC @LAist used snail mail, sent text alerts in Spanish, overhauled their workflow and more to connect with their community. #TableStakes

Wow this is pretty big news. CalGang is historically poorly maintained and can lead to people getting hella extra years tacked onto their sentences.
In 2016 an audit found that police were putting babies and toddlers in the database.
