LA resident Jeremy Frisch to LA Police Comm: Black lives matter, defund the police
The LA Police Department behaves like an invading, occupying military presence in Los Angeles County for the most part. Community outreach is not the LAPD’s strength, and it really should be as one of the largest police departments in the world. So… funny story, the LA Police Commission decided to host a Zoom open mic thing where people could chat with people on the commission and air grievances and such. This is what happened:
A public Zoom call hosted by the Los Angeles Police Commission that was planned to discuss the protests following George Floyd‘s death turned into nine hours of citizens demanding that the LAPD Chief of Police resign. During the call, callers slammed the department for the LAPD’s response to the protests and demanded that Chief Michel Moore resign, after blamed protestors for the George‘s death.
Earlier this week, Chief Moore said people “capitalizing” on the protests and “looting” were just as responsible for the death of George as the officers who killed him. “His death is on their hands, as much as it is on those officers,” Moore said. He later apologized for his comments.
A citizen named Jeremy Frisch called into the meeting and he had some very harsh words for Chief Moore, saying that the LAPD is “slaughtering peaceful protestors.” Each caller was allowed 30 seconds to say what they needed to say – and boy did Jeremy take advantage of every second.
“Black lives matter. Defund the police. I find it disgusting that the LAPD is slaughtering peaceful protestors on the street,” Jeremy shouted. “I had two friends go to the protest in Beverly Hills a couple days ago and the protestors were peaceful until the police showed up with their excessive, violent force shooting rubber bullets and throwing tear gas. Is this what you think of, protecting and serving? Because I think it’s bulls–t. F–k you Michel Moore. I refuse to call you an officer or a chief because you don’t deserve those titles. You are a disgrace. Suck my d–k and choke on it. I yield my time. F–k you.”
I’m including the video clip below, which is obviously NSFW because of language. It’s mega-cathartic though. You know when dudes named Jeremy are telling cops to “suck my d-ck and choke on it,” sh-t is getting VERY REAL. While I know everything is trash and we’ve got a literal Nazi as president, can I just say? I actually appreciate that there are so many white people trying to do the work of allyship so far.
