It’s true. The ‘84 Olympics ushered in a hundreds of millions more dollars in police budget, which was used to surveil and jail Black & brown youth, the unhoused, immigrants, and sex workers. It also armed the police with more military equipment, including a freaking tank.

You can thank the LAPD for creating militarized policing. They used the shootout with the Black Panther’s and the Watts Uprising to justify its existence. Later on they’d use the 1984 Olympics and War on Drugs to further entrench the police as soldier, in equipment and mentality.
I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

I've also written about how the Olympics are definitely not the end game for LA boosters. There are already megaevents booked well into the 2030s. This is not going to be magically over for the city in 2028
The forever games
With fewer cities stepping up to welcome the games, the IOC is keeping a handful of previous hosts on heavy rotation. And it might mean more Olympics are on LA's horizon

This morning’s Fair Games rally was a poignant reminder that it's workers who will make LA's megaevents happen. And with 60 local labor and housing groups represented, it was pretty clear that this broad coalition could also make sure those megaevents do *not* happen
Reasonable demands

NOlympics LA started as a DSA-LA working group. This year, they decided to make their bed with Unite Here’s reformist platform.
Our position is that the Olympics cannot be reformed. Efforts to do so elsewhere have consistently failed. There is no “good” way to host the Olympics.
