To the editor: Am I safer as a result of avenue distributors are being taken off the road? Or landscapers? Or restaurant employees? Or automobile wash employees? Am I safer when armed males in masks roam Los Angeles with impunity; who really feel they’ve the precise to make use of extreme pressure towards a girl who ended up of their path, and who’re seemingly threatened by bystanders filming their cruelty? What number of extra instances should the Los Angeles Occasions doc (“‘You gonna let him die?’ Agents pile on protester, who convulses and struggles to breathe,” June 27)? Please see each Occasions concern this week for related tales.
How lengthy earlier than these thugs in face masks trigger grievous hurt to harmless bystanders with their mass arrest techniques? Immigration and Customs Enforcement has operated in Los Angeles for many years with out this model of violence. And that’s the purpose — it’s a model. A Donald Trump/Stephen Miller model designed to emphasise cruelty for our consumption. I’m not safer, however I’m ashamed that that is occurring in our metropolis, our state and our nation.
