This particular officer retired and as such the department was unable to discipline him.

About to have a very long night of asking for more info and comment, but the TL;DR is that LAPD just internally admitted that at least one member is a member of a โ€œlaw enforcement gang.โ€

And that member by LAPDโ€™s own internal admission did racist policing as well as brandishing firearms.

According to LAPDโ€™s disciplinary report, one of their officers is a member participated in a โ€œlaw enforcement gang.โ€ That officer โ€œunnecessarily pointed a firearmโ€ at a complainant, โ€œdetained a complainant without cause,โ€ and โ€œtook action based on upon a complainantโ€™s race.โ€

A few shots from a small protest in Wauwatosa, WI. Wauwatosa is a sleepy suburb of Milwaukee perhaps best known as the launching point of the political career of former Republican governor Scott Walker.

I attended a lot of the protests this film shot, and can tell you that nobody else has quite gotten the feel of how *hateful and scary* they were if you were there.

Also, selfishly, if youโ€™re into shots where far in the background you can see me chain smoking and looking sad this is your film.

Momโ€™s Club is a haunting piece of film that takes a vital look into where this country is heading, why and who is responsible. If you care about LGBTQIA+ protections or cinematography this should absolutely be on your list. Thereโ€™s a virtual screening tomorrow and you should ABSOLUTELY check it out.

โ€œโ€ฆthe AUDITOR's are trying to solicit a response hoping the member of the public will act out in a manner that violates the law. This is what the AUDITOR wants, and it is known as "Click Bait."
