its use of rubber bullets when dealing with peaceful protesters.
“Those tactics will sometimes be out there, but it is my direction to minimize those and if we can to not use those [tactics] at all especially if there’s peaceful protesters.” “I’m glad he quickly corrected it, and I’m glad that he further apologized, as well,” Garcetti said. I want to be very, very clear about that. If I believed for a moment that the chief believed that in his heart, he would no longer be our chief of police. I can’t say that any stronger.”
Won't be able to afford rubber or lead bullets after the cuts. Results for cutting LAPD budget = disaster. MayorOfLA Mass exodus of police = mass exodus of taxpayers.
LAPD heard this as 'switch to lethal rounds'
Or maybe not use it AT ALL? What drugs are y’all on, Is it crack?
Stop altogether you brutal assholes.
You’re getting closer. How about “don’t use rubber bullets”? Let’s try that one and just give it a go
Is he the moron or you. Peaceful protesters should not be shot at period. If they need to shoot then they are not peaceful. The police has to be accountable but they also must stop the violence. The politicians do not help when stupid comments are made.
Maybe we can minimize our efforts to re-elect you in the next election.
Thanks?
Umm.. how about no bullets against protesters
How about eliminating?
What a feeble attempt to save face while literally accomplishing nothing. Get him out of office.
Guys, please, if you can,,
So ericgarcetti is a choad? “”minimize its use of rubber bullets”

Garcetti has got to go.
.MayorOfLA This is not enough. This is not firm direction or firm leadership. We will remember.
Minimise violence against non-violent protestors, what?! Better idea: disarm and disband the police
Too fucking late. Stop conceding to these bullshit gestures, people, this is war.
MayorOfLA “minimize”? How about eliminate the use of rubber bullets completely.
“minimize”? Don’t use rubber bullets at all when dealing with peaceful protesters MayorOfLA !!!
There’s a difference between protesters and rioters... wake up & support your police department’s efforts to protect life & property
So use real ones instead? How about simply not shooting protestors?
Limit*, not “stop”
Why do you need rubber bullets for peaceful protests
Want don’t you supply them with milk & cookies too. Pussy
If they are peaceful... why does anyone need rubber bullets? I'm thinking they might not be so peaceful...
If the protests were peaceful rubber bullets wouldn't be needed in the first place.
Rubber Bullets are not supposed to be used on the head . Thats attempted murder
The reason there is no kkk marching or a bunch of racist rallies opposition is because they are all working .... as cops! We are the majority and that scares them. So much so that the pussy cops have asked daddy trump for the National guard ! This is our America ! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻
Why use it on peaceful protestors at all?
So officers cannot protect themselves when the protests get violent? Batshit Crazy
efero_patricia Rubber bullets can kill or blind people. They should not be used at all.
DStewart541 How very magnanimous of the LAPD! Joke!!!
Garecetti who destroyed so many businessES with his C19 lockdown rules not wearing a mask. THIS FVCKKKING HYPOCRITE.
He is scared.
So the rioters can loot with confidence.
For Mr. Garcetti to please read the Black Lives Matter official tweets tonight as they form together with a long term plan conceived by far greater lawyer's, historians, & jurists than I. If TAP is there he's tops.
Minimize. Wow. We ask for 0 rubber bullet. And you minimize, MayorOfLA ericgarcetti. Unbelievable. My eyes hurt.🙄
This guy
MINIMIZE?!
why not stop shooting Americans with bullets covered in rubber as they are enacting their 1st Amendment right all cops need to be stripped of all legal protections or they will never stop
Let’s just not use them at all. Or any weapon for that matter. I think the result would be a lot more dialogue & negotiation.
MayorOfLA tell them to stop doing drive bys while you’re at it
AND TEAR GAS
HereOnPoppyHill Or how about none at all?!?! WTF! Is Megatron leading the assault on Americans Stop all violence on peaceful protestors.
Where is his mask? He said people could not go on dry sand.
So they will just say there were no peaceful protesters. They have chosen to start a war against us. This is a criminal act, this is inhumane and it must be stopped
That's mighty white of him
This seems like it should be an oxymoron. Rubber bullets do so much damage. Why would you even use them and teargas on peaceful protesters? They have a first amendment right to peaceably assemble so the police have no right to fire upon them. CivilRights
FyodorFish oh my gosh thank you
Bitch dont use them at all wtf
SMH. - what part of 'PEACEFUL' -makes any type of bullet permissible? Walk Away. No more MOORE
How about not arresting peaceful protestors!!! None of those white supremacists in CityofHBPIO were arrested! Why are our peaceful protestors being treated differently? “Because of rioters and looters” blah blah blah. Than arrest the rioters&looters not the peaceful protestors
i've done the MATH and the minimum number of rubber bullets you could use is zero. same goes for tear gas canisters.
How about no rubber bullets? Mmmmmm?
Water canons then?
FUCK ERIC GARCETTI & HIS CULT OF VIOLENCE HE CALLS POLICE!
Not good enough, MayorOfLA. LAPDChiefMoore came up with this on his own w/ no fear of impunity. Either fire him or quit and we’ll find someone who will do it. I won’t pay taxes to support a man who hunted down peaceful dissent.
Why in the name of justice would you use rubber bullets or any use of force against peaceful protesters? Why would you introduce violence into a constitutionally protected right? Why are you allowing LAPD the discretion to disrupt a peaceful activity that is part of free speed?
The LAPD is the same as the MPD. They are boys with toys on a power trip. The mayor needs to understand that absolutely no police action should be taken against peaceful protesters. Time to dismantle the system and make something better.
How about no bullets towards peaceful protesters? Lol smh....
Meanwhile LAPD is out doing drive by shootings...
There is absolutely NO reason to shoot rubber bullets on peaceful protesters. Save all that ammo for the thugs that riot and loot instead. In fact, aim for their heads so you minimize the chance of them keep breaking the law.
Shoot em in the legs!
Minimize?! FUCK ERIC GARCETTI
Motherfuxer neoliberal skank no $$$ for education or healthcare but billions for crooked cops. This has been going on for years 💀 this is why cops are killing us
'When dealing with peaceful protesters.' Did I miss something here? Rubber bullets should NEVER be used on peaceful protestors. It is their right to peacefully protest.
Oh isn’t that nice. 🤦♀️
Did you want them to give hugs to stop the violence? WakeUp
“Minimize use on peaceful protestors”..... why the hell are you using none lethal weapons on people peacefully exercising their 1st amendment rights in the first place You played yourself. Whole force should step down. Top to bottom
Minimize the murder and maiming of people who are doing nothing wrong? That’s mighty generous of him. Maybe they’ll minimize kicking puppies next.
AmeliousW 'minimize' != stop, So he's saying it's still ok to use rubber bullets on *PEACEFUL* protesters
Also he is asking us to minimize our votes ✊🏽
lila_seidman MayorOfLA why don’t you ask them to bend over and take it up the ass as well! Maybe they should use nerf guns or water guns! lapd must hate your guts!!Give me a break already if you don’t listen to law and order in a time of disorder you are part of the problem!
Yet Chief Moore has not been cut loose yet unforgivable
Get rid of the police chief!!!
Yet he had people surrounded by police
Must have been upset he was on his way to work and he wasn’t Either way the Hispanic community will never forget the images of the assaults or street vendors in LA by the same people who now want the world’s attention by crimes they’ve been committing themselves for years.
Eliminate sounds better, minimize his power
A Suit telling the working police force how to operate. These are the decisions of a man who has never faced adversity. weak
Looking at the bar MayorOfLA sets for himself
In Turkey, at urban centers, the police uses pepperfilled paint airgun balls, when they want to shoot at protesters. Just as effective& you can mark the attacker too, for further arrest with minimal damage. Since US begin replicating same nazi tactics, use proper guidance.
After being dragged, live for the change none the less
How 'bout no rubber bullets?
Why would you need rubber bullets to deal with PEACEFUL protesters?
Syke no they won’t smh
He is not wearing a Mask....someone report this to the Health Department
Why not ALL PROJECTILE AMMO? Ban that! Governor of LA, CA,...Also, do something about that nerve/tear gas, why don’t ya? These are real People out here!
No Mask! He has on no Mask
MayorOfLA shame! LA will not forget!
Geniusbastard They will try to only beat the shit out of a few innocent people. Fifteen, sixteen tops.
MayorOfLA could stop the arrests in front of his house. But he doesn't. Eric Garcetti could ensure his cops are wearing masks. But he doesn't RecallGarcetti BlackLivesMatter
how about commit no violence against non-violent people
Not good enough! How about NOT use and fire your racist chief of police!
Wow has ericgarcetti ended up being a huge disappointment.
How about the tear gas? We ARE still in the middle of a pandemic
lila_seidman Or better yet just go ahead and hug them while they loot and riot the city. Put down the guns while you're at it and let the poor innocent souls have their way.
Minimize? How about no
Ya because you bastards cause more harm and injury
Too late! The media has also been targeted! MayorOfLA and LAPDChiefMoore should be replaced! The Mayor praised lapd and the Chief a couple of days earlier at a presser! GeorgeFloydProtests
Does he expect his words could bring peace and calm to owners of Small businesses destroyed and burned during riots? ericgarcetti GavinNewsom andrewcuomo BilldeBlasio
LIMIT? You mean 'hey, use only one bullet per protester, okay?' NOOOOO! IT'S NOT OKAY, IT'S NOT ENOUGH! Just stop being harsh and aggressive dammit!!! Let them voice out their concerns! Let their voices be heard!
Why would the Mayor of LA have to limit the use of plastic bullets with PeacefulProtestors Surely if they are Peaceful there shud be no need for any to be used 🤔🤔🤔
Hey MayorOfLA, is this what you have as the alternative to the rubber bullets being used on peaceful protesters? Batons?
Did he ask the protestors to minimize the vandalism?
If they are peaceful, why you using rubber bullets anyway?
As long as those that are shot do maximum damage?
What a fucking joke. What does 'minimize' mean? How about just outright prohibit them and any officers that use them is fired on the spot?
Law enforcement without force is havoc.
Minimize? How many rubber bullets are in the arsenal of the LAPD? What's the budget? What are they spending on teargas? What's the rationale for these military grade arms?
🖕🏽🖕🏾🖕🏿🖕🖕🏻
The protestors need to go to jail if they are out past curfew. No more destruction of LA businesses.
Yeah i'm sure the pigs will try real hard to do that and will face real consequences when they don't. I have the brain of a baby goldfish.
Good idea, no more bouncy ball pew. Let's get serious and stop playing around.
“Those tactics will sometimes be out there, but it is my direction to minimize those and if we can to not use those [tactics] at all especially if there’s peaceful protesters,' Garcetti said.
