A tense scene outside the jails right now as families of people who died while in custody and protestors with JusticeLA hold a rally, while LASD deputies with riot gear assemble across the street.

Fun fact: it’s illegal for LA County Sheriffs officers to cover the identifying information on their uniforms.

They’re doing all this turning up on mothers who lost loved ones inside holding a community gathering outside the jail. And shut down visitation at MCJ. On Mother’s Day weekend.
