35 Arrested as Los Angeles Police Use Tear Gas Against Anti-Police-Brutality Protesters
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Los Angeles, police fired tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets to
clear demonstrations while arresting 35 people this week, as protesters
continue to demand justice for Dijon Kizzee, a 29-year-old Black
bicyclist who was shot dead by police after being pulled over for an
alleged bike violation in late August. Protesters want L.A. District
Attorney Jackie Lacey to resign and for the officers involved to be
fired and criminally prosecuted.
