62 | 7/4/25 | Multiple | Multiple | LAPD | Downtown | Rolling set of incidents with maybe a dozen journalists including Sean Beckner-Carmitchel, Mel Buer, JW Hendricks, Anthony Cabassa, and others undentified. Started at the corner of Temple and Alameda, where it seemed like about equal numbers of press and protesters, and even more LAPD. After crossing Temple, press complied with orders to get on the sidewalk. At least one LAPD officer shoved a photographer on the sidewalk for no apparent reason. Eventually LAPD kettled the dozen press in the MOCA Geffen parking lot with just a couple of protesters. LAPD had vastly larger numbers and could have easily handled the protesters while letting press go. Press were easily identifiable by large cameras, including one with an over-the-shoulder TV camera, and ample badging. Repeated shoving by LAPD moved press to 1st between Central and San Pedro. Ultimately they were as many as six blocks from where press thought the actual dispersal order was supposed to apply to. Press were denied access to see what police were doing with actual protesters, including an alleged arrest of a protester too far to clearly make out, but LAPD instead managed to let Metro riders through. Eventually some of the press gave up and left, unable to do their job. | https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/120K21-MV0c179PiAQYCGwQ8gzZlnhIEU?usp=drive_link | N/A | To-Do | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Less lethal" rounds were fired into the crowd. I managed to get out of the line of scrimmage but was pushed and shoved as people began to panic. At the intersection of Alameda and Los Angeles, the police paused to reposition themselves and put on gas masks. Again, protestors were split into sections, depending on which street they were kettled to -- I was recording near the overpass when they began to shoot tear gas into the crowd and aim "less lethal" indiscriminately. I was tear-gassed and had to flee on foot." | https://www.instagram.com/reel/DK6ZWdDuRPG/ | To-Do | To-Do | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

I was towards the front of the march near the line of scrimmage, clearly marked as press -- with my press gear on (and camera). The police began to aggressively push the line back. Part of this interaction was captured on camera. I was pushed back by a police officer and kettled into a large crowd despite being both a reporter and disabled.
