Shot On 35mm

Undoubtedly dozens of media organizations will write about this case after seeing this thread. Many without citing our scoop. But we don’t have the resources to report out everything we find. If you’d like to fix that, consider a paid subscription to Court Watch www.CourtWatch.news/upgrade

The law firm that obtained this footage could have given it to any news outlet they wanted to, including @latimes.com, but they decided to give it to @lataco.bsky.social FIRST.

Hi @ktla.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

Not good @latimes.com

Clip 🎥 […]

Snapshot of current ECMWF model ensemble prediction of precipitation over the next 2 weeks for a point near Los Angeles. 2-4 inches of rain are highly likely this weekend, which represents a major November storm! But only 1 in 51 (<2%) of ensemble members show ~10 inches of rain this week--making it an extreme, and very unlikely, outlier.

California weather PSA:

Fact: Major SoCal storm *is* likely this weekend, w/2-4 inches of rain & t-storms possible in LA (more in mtns) & notable flood/debris flow risk in some spots.

Context: Snapshots showing ~10 inches of rain are extreme outliers, & very unlikely!

Thank you sir!

Seriously, you need to read this. Last Saturday in Echo Park was nuts as cops preemptively invaded the area before the World Series was even over and assaulted people with batons, horses and tear gas. @shoton35mm.bsky.social pieced the violence together in fantastic reporting.

One man who was walking to Gold Room bar had to get surgery on his finger after being shot with a “rubber bullet.”

2k words + a trip to the ER later (I'm OK), here is my latest story for @lataco.bsky.social about the LAPD'S response to World Series celebrations in L.A.. I spoke to a man who was headed to the Gold Room for a nightcap and had to undergo surgery after being hit in the finger with a "ruber bullet."

Bartenders and Innocent Bystanders Tear Gassed, Knocked Over By Horses, And Shot With ‘Rubber Bullets’ During World Series Night Celebrations ~ L.A. TACO One man who was walking to Gold Room bar had to get surgery on his finger after being shot with a “rubber bullet.” “He was just running away and they got him in the leg and shot the top of his finger off,” the man’s girlfriend told L.A. TACO.

Los Angeles journalists, and those tracking/defending community are truly Democracy Defenders, heroes, working in war zones daily, witnessing unjust violence. Support ANY way you can @lataco.bsky.social Lataco.com/echo-park-world-series-2025 by @shoton35mm.bsky.social

Here's @cd13.lacity.gov's statement on the Short Stop incident: “The video is incredibly disturbing. Especially considering the tactics we're seeing from the federal government, everyone in the city should be demonstrating what the rule of law looks like, instead of using their same playbook”

Let's not forget the time in early 2021 when the LAPD stopped issuing press passes due to some unexplained software issue.

Be sure to also note @adamrose.bsky.social's assessment of why declaring an unlawful assembly to shut down a bar DURING THE FINAL GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES sets a chilling precedent: “Using unlawful assembly this way is like pre-crime or thought-crime enforcement"

Of course @lataco.bsky.social @shoton35mm.bsky.social has the definitive account of what unfolded before and after Saturday’s victory — which illustrates over and over again how LA is completely unprepared to handle celebrating fans

This is a crucial thread from @awalkerinla.bsky.social incorporating reporting by @shoton35mm.bsky.social and commentary by @adamrose.bsky.social about the LAPD’s hideous overreach on the night the Dodgers won the World Series.

A firefighter told L.A. TACO that they got a call saying that “some unwelcome people” had driven onto a parking lot that the fire department rented from the Dodgers for a seminar that they’re hosting today.
