LACW Joins LA CAN and Occupy LA at “Chalkupy”

On Thursday, August 9, the LACW joined with the L.A. Community Action Network (LA CAN) and Occupy Los Angeles (OLA) at the “Chalkupy” event at Pershing Square in conjunction with the L.A. Art Walk in downtown L.A. There were no arrests and the LAPD behaved much better than last month’s Art Walk fiasco where two hundred riot-clad cops stormed into the crowd using tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and other “less than lethal” projectiles, arresting 17 people and injuring 9 all for chalking the sidewalk and street. Here are event PHOTOS.
