Venice Boardwalk has been a big loss to the City- how it is seen by Los Angeles' tourist crowds, and to LA's own image as an artistic or art-supportive environment. Commercial vending of cheap re-sale-mdse. bought at any local wholesaler while using City sidewalk free spaces ruins any art scene. City Council doing a draft that looks bad so far.

cop grabbing demonstrator while being detained on sidewalk for "jaywalking" (tags)
this is when the 4 cops drove their motorcycles at us on the sidewalk and cut off our path. (just before another 19 cops showed up and sorounded us).. Look at the area I lightened up in this shot. You can see (in the windows reflection) the cop grabbing this demonstrator on the arm. The PEACEFUL demonstrator was telling the cop to get his hands off him at this point.
demonstrators sorounded, and detained by police on sidewalk (tags)
this is when about 25-30 cops jumped us on the sidewalk and sorounded us, they said we were being "detained" and they were giving all of us tickets for walking against a red light. Stupid bogus bullshit just to get our names and make a scene so they could feel good. They claimed an officer whitnessed the "unlawful act", but when we asked the cop on the left who he was, or WHERE he was he said, "i dunno".
