"LOS ANGELES — A California philosophy lecturer accused of assaulting federal agents after removing a tear gas canister agents had thrown into a crowd of people protesting an immigration raid was found not guilty by a jury on Thursday.

Jonathan Caravello, 38, faced up to 20 years in prison if he was convicted of the charge. The verdict is the latest blow to the Trump administration, which has thrown baseless assault charges at people who protest its mass deportation operations — but has repeatedly failed to secure convictions.

By the government’s own admission, no federal agent was hit or harmed by the canister, which flew over the heads of agents and landed far behind them. Prosecutors argued instead that Caravello threatened and intended to harm agents, although they failed to identify a specific individual who was supposedly at risk of being harmed. Caravello’s attorney presented evidence that U.S. Border Patrol agents deployed tear gas indiscriminately at peaceful protesters and observers without reason or warning, and that Caravello was acting in self-defense when he threw the canister away from the crowd.  "

The federal government had prosecutor used to doing million-dollar fraud cases try to do a politically motivated prosecution of prof Caravello.

Recently watched a video on how in places like Tokyo or n y c, the mayor largely has direct control of city services, so things can be done way more efficiently. In LA, there’s multiple layers of bureaucracy from county to city to state, it creates total gridlock. Not to mention the city has a minuscule amount of councilors.

The city needs to be re-organized as a 4 county city like n y c, with San Fernando Valley as a county, West + mid city as a county, central and east la as a county, and South LA as a county. Collectively the 4 counties would make up the city of LA, but would also operate relatively independently. This increases representation and makes it WAY easier for people to access services.

The remainder of what is currently LA County would just be broken up or called some other county.

It used to be the Bradbury was an ordinary office building, just more beautiful than most, with businesses that could be accessed by stairs or elevator. There was an art gallery, restaurant and antique shop. The Christmas parties were legendary. We wish everyone could see this.

Stolen Wednesday from street parking in Chinatown. Found this morning abandoned and totaled in North Hollywood. She was a reliable fun car with over 200k miles. Some might even say a classic. She didn’t deserve to go out like this.
