LAPD ARREST 81-YEAR-OLD OVER FOR SPEAKING ‘OFF-TOPIC’ AT PUBLIC FORUM

Los Angeles, CA — The caption on a video posted by Pete White of the Los Angeles Community Action Networkread:

“Arresting Free Speech…what are they hiding?"

“Tut Hayes, an 81-year-old Black Man, is arrested while giving ‘public testimony.’ He is said to be ‘off-topic’ within seconds of speaking and summarily dragged from the podium. Mr. Hayes is a long time fixture in Los Angeles and his legal knowledge, especially regarding the Ralph M. Brown Act, is untouchable. This is dangerous and deadly behavior by the #LAPD and we must resist allowing their illegal behavior to continue.

“Ironically enough the Commission President is #MattJohnson who simply watched a man that could be his father/grandfather get dragged out on his knees. We will not rest, we will resist!”
