Subject: Tenants Attacked and Beaten by Police at City Hall
Today in City Hall tenant rights advocates and supporters were without
provocation were attacked by LAPD. After a vote by the City Council to not
grant tenants a rent freeze for four months, tenants began protesting their
displeasure. Tenants had been promised by some councilmembers after months of
organizing they we would be granted a rent moritorium. The police were
summoned by the council and told to clear the council chambers. Polce began
shoving tenants which included seniors, children and disabled residents.
Councilmember Dennis Zine gave the order " I said clear this chambers now"
giving the police the green light to brutalize tenants. Two members of LACAN
were arrested after being attack and Geraldo Gomez and tenant rights and
homeless advvocate was also arrested. This attack by the police was
unwarranted and many of us, including myself were beaten and released.
