Tear gas and flash-bangs ignite the streets of L.A. once more. This is how power hushes the cries for justice. Our resistance is met with violence because the system fears change. In every cloud of gas, feel the heartbeat of a movement that will not be silenced. Stand firm. Speak loud. Change is non-negotiable.

Those who march for justice find themselves face-to-face with the very forces meant to serve them. The streets of Los Angeles don't need military presence; they need accountability and compassion. This isn't about safety—it's about maintaining a status quo that's long overdue for dismantling.

Went out for a loop around West Hollywood before official curfew began at 4pm. Many stores are closed and boarded up right now. The smell of smoke and fire had been replaced by the smell of fresh raw wood from all the boards. It was quite eerie. You’ll see the Grove and the Original Farmers Market are fully boarded up now. My camera made a compilation of a few seconds before each photo was taken. See the whole set in the video. 😷🖤✊🏿✊🏻 Song courtesy of www.bensound.com #BlackLivesMatter #weho #melrose #fairfaxdistrict #laprotests #nojusticenopeace (at West Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6Tj8ijzY8/?igshid=18tiurt1c5cxt

The Aftermath At Melrose and Fairfax. Taken this morning by me.
