Los Angeles City Atty. Mike Feuer will not file criminal charges against the scores of protesters, journalists and legal observers who were arrested for failing to disperse from an Echo Park protest in March.

L.A. city, county prosecutors won’t charge protesters arrested on curfew violations, failure to disperse

“It’s really important to us that people are able to exercise their 1st Amendment rights to protest injustices without the fear of criminalization,” she said. “We’re very pleased that the city attorney’s office has chosen to exercise its vast discretion to reject these arrests.” A protest on the night of March 24 ended without arrests when protesters dispersed and people living in the park were allowed to stay overnight before a morning eviction deadline. However, on March 25, another protest erupted outside the newly closed park, and ended with mass arrests after the LAPD declared the protest an unlawful assembly.
