Jamiel's Law Petition Signing Raided By LAPD
LAPD, as
well as the sanitation Department, Parking Enforcement, General
Services, the Health Department, Motorcycle Officers and a Helicopter
raided Jamiel' Law Petition signing in Leimert Park, on Sunday, August
17. The Shaw's were asked to show ID as well as provide Social Security
numbers. Let's make this perfectly clear: American citizens were denied
the right to collect signatures to place an item on the ballot while
Special Order 40 protects illegal alien gang bangers from being asked
their immigration status. This is an outrage. How is this different
from a Police State shutting down a legal public attempt to redress
grievances? It isn't. Call the Los Angeles Police Department (Southwest
Division) and asked who sent them to harass the Shaw family. This kind
of multi-department harassment had to come from the highest levels of
Los Angeles Government.

Every Sunday, The Shaw Family and supporters of Jamiel's Law, come to
Leimert Park from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to get signatures to put
Jamiel's Law on the March 3, 2009 ballot. We have our Jamiel's Law
T-shirts on and we have Jamiel's Law petitions. We started doing this
June 29th and we have been there every Sunday.
We usually barbecue and give away free hot dogs, chips and sodas, as a
way of saying, "Thank You", to the people supporting us. But today, the
family had a party for Thomas (the younger brother of murdered victim,
Jamiel Shaw, II), at a different location, so we just had drinks and
chips for the kids.
Suddenly, the park was surrounded with Los Angeles Police Officers.
Some in plain clothes and some in uniform. At least 7 or 8 black and
white cars and a couple of police vans, if not more. They started with
our family. Asking for identification and asking for our social
security numbers. We showed our identification, but we refused to give
our social security numbers to the Police Officer. The officer was not
happy with this and said, "You know, I could give you a ticket for
blocking the sidewalk".
We did have a table up against a fence, with plenty of room to walk. We
told the officers, "We're here to get signatures to put Jamiel's Law on
the March 3, 2009 ballot. We'll move our table to the inside of the
fence". He said we couldn't do that. His words were, "you can't get
signatures in a public park". So we said, "we'll talk to people as they
walk by". According to the same officer, "You can only get signatures
going door to door"!
One of the officers refused to give us his business card. However,
another officer did hand us his card and he told us, "Many officers do
support what you all are doing, but this is very political. 'They', are
trying to shut you guys down. I hope you get the signatures you need".
A third officer told us this raid was planned a week ago. He said,
"We're just following orders, it's not us".
Then the Health Department walks up and tells us that we cannot give
away water, soda and chips without a permit. We had about 4, 6 packs of
water and sodas and small bags of chips. They told us, "load it up".
Then the trash truck shows up ready to haul everything away. If that
wasn't enough, the helicopter comes and hovers over the area. You would
think we were criminals.
In addition to all of this, the City will not open the restrooms in the
public park. It's true! They lock us out. We're forced to leave the
park and go use the restrooms at one of the fast food restaurants. We
have to fight and complain just to get the City to open the restrooms
and we're still being ignored. Yet the City Council members bend over
backwards to approve a restroom facility for day laborers at Home
Depot.
We're shocked by all of this! The first time they raided the park I
wasn't able to get pictures. I forgot the camera at home and forgot
that I have a camera on my cell phone. Although I was able to get
pictures after all, because did I mention two hours later they raided
the park again?!
I wonder how much did all of this cost the City of Angels?
