So basically the protests were peaceful except that two competing cop departments accidentally went to war with each other
Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD

LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade

Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park.

Signs to police 'negative' history went up at Manzanar. Historians are nervous.

ICE detain the wrong restaurant worker—then arrest him anyway for "resisting."

Agents didn't ask for ID—or even his name—just tackled him down with no warrant.

Romeo has a speech impediment, making it difficult for him to communicate quickly to agents.

This happened at the Early Bird in Omaha, NE

"Queer and questioning, unsure, intersex, lesbian, transgender and two-spirit, bisexual, asexual and aromantic, and gay and genderqueer." Including all of those letters would turn it into QQUILTTBAAGG".

Nebraskans have REPEATEDLY voted, overwhelmingly so, to legalize marijuana. AND YET.

Onosato Daiki of Japan was named on Wednesday as yokozuna, or grand champion, the highest title in the sport. He is the first Japanese yokozuna in eight years and only the second in 27 years, at least temporarily breaking Mongolian dominance of the elite levels of the sport.
