In my opinion, this is an excellent, well-balanced article. You raise many important but unanswered questions. I believe democratic rights in the U.S. overall are being eroded, especially with respect to the constitutional right to peaceful assembly. It seems to me that the application of anti-conspiracy/anti-racketeering laws could potentially have a chilling effect on all protest movements throughout the country. The American public must be made aware of and educated on the use of this law by federal and local authorities. I myself would be interested in learning more about it. Maybe this is good content for a future article? In addition, the citizens of L.A. must ask for more transparency from the LAPD with respect to the investigation referenced in the article.

Thank you! Appreciate it! They might not want balanced written journalism but it’s what I do!

Given that:

1.- you know and has said recently that some LAPD officers are corrupted and do police work bias on favor of scientology

2.- you alleged that various investigations by LAPD divisions are being conducted

3.- you know no conspiracy to attack people or organized criminal activity had been going on or been planned by the protesters, so much so, that you joined them for a while

(You are an industrious, intelligent and good minded person that doesn't engage in criminal activity)

I would argue you should leave the reporting on this topic alone, given that you are bias in testifying in favor of the perspective LAPD will spin the narrative to favor his highest donor, Chtology, to save your life of false preventive imprisonment

it seems to be that you’re uneducated sadly. Quoting people in a childish manner

Capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end are your friend. Unless you place a comma after the word "uneducated" you need to put the adverb "sadly" in front of the word "uneducated." I just wanted to expand on your ad hominem statement a bit more.

Good work Zach, keep it up. Some of the protestors have really lost my respect with their bullying of other protestors and journalists.
