SCOOP: City Attorney Takes Her Own Swing at Man Sucker Punched by LAPD in 2024 - la.streetsblog.org/2026/03/06/c...

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him. Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

New from me over at the Ten Four: An LAPD Officer is charged with a Felony after skydiving at least 21 times while receiving disability payments. (Also, yes, that is the same officer in the photo skydiving while carrying an American flag) latenfour.com/2026/02/25/d...

New From Me: LAPD quietly acknowledged at least one officer participated in a law enforcement gang. Sources within LAPD told Ten Four that the officer was assigned to the Mission Division, which has been wracked with firings and controversy for several years. latenfour.com/2026/02/25/l...

According to LAPD’s disciplinary report, one of their officers is a member participated in a “law enforcement gang.” That officer “unnecessarily pointed a firearm” at a complainant, “detained a complainant without cause,” and “took action based on upon a complainant’s race.”

New from me: A Central Wisconsin progressive trolled local police and news into thinking he would disrupt an independence day parade, local police spent thousands on more than a hundred police from around the area. Now he's raisd $200,000 for a progressive marketplace. latenfour.com/2026/02/22/w...

“Overediting photos to make them look like nightmare fuel” should be a bigger genre of thing to do (Taken today in Windsor, WI)

Just finding out now that the CEO of Chuck E Cheese is mentioned in the Epstein Files

The City of San Diego abruptly cancelled it's press pass program, informing it's "media partners," to "“please create something that identifies you.” New for The Ten Four and excellent work by @aeonphotoco.bsky.social : latenfour.com/2026/02/14/s...

A few shots from a small protest in Wauwatosa, WI. Wauwatosa is a sleepy suburb of Milwaukee perhaps best known as the launching point of the political career of former Republican governor Scott Walker.

Mom’s Club is a haunting piece of film that takes a vital look into where this country is heading, why and who is responsible. If you care about LGBTQIA+ protections or cinematography this should absolutely be on your list. There’s a virtual screening tomorrow and you should ABSOLUTELY check it out.

Hey everyone! I’ve added some new photos to my print shop, and am running a 15% discount for Valentine’s Day this weekend. Prints start at even lower than $5 now. (Please help me buy food) seanbecknercarmitchel.shootproof.com/gallery/2938...

LAPD’s Van Nuys Division posted a community alert about “First Amendment Auditors” on their social media. “…the AUDITOR's are trying to solicit a response hoping the member of the public will act out in a manner that violates the law. This is what the AUDITOR wants, and it is known as "Click Bait."

Gauging interest, would anyone be interested in Jack Kirby-esque fumetti collage zines?

Former race and ethnicity reporter for WaPo: “This wasn't a financial decision, it was an ideological one.” He also says “hundreds of people” were laid off today, and I’ve seen it reported elsewhere that layoffs affected one third of the staff.

My position at The Post was eliminated, along with many other journalists of color hired after the 2020 racial reckoning.

Photographers are all really into off camera flash these days. Call me old fashioned but I’ll always prefer having the option of putting a camera bulb at -7 degrees and telling a friend to look at something on the viewfinder then blasting them at 1/1.

Minneapolis, MN - Local bookstore Subtext Books organized a poetry reading, which included readings of the works of Renee Good.

Minneapolis, MN - A native community event near the vigil of Alex Pretti.

Greetings! There’s a picket line outside of the Target in Dinky Town neighborhood of Minneapolis. The Target is closed for the day.

Minneapolis, MN - The vigil for Alex Pretti on E 26th and Nicollet currently. Every day I’ve visited, it noticeably grows. Several stores here are still closed for businesses; a few of them have switched into mutual aid centers and continue to provide hand warmers and the like.

Greetings! I’m here at Bryant Square in Minneapolis. Hundreds are here for a protest against ICE.

This is a long and very quotable piece about one of the more bizarre episodes from the ICE surge in Minneapolis. Read it this weekend. You won’t regret it.

Greetings! I’m at a march in downtown Minneapolis. There are thousands here ready to march. It took nearly 20 minutes to squeeze through the crowd to get to the speakers.

Greetings! I’m here at Whipple Federal Building adjacent to Minneapolis, MN. A few hundred people are here for a protest against federal deportations and resulting shootings.

@lukeoneil47.bsky.social was kind enough to let me ramble. Particularly proud of “what may have seemed to him like an impromptu barricade against bloodthirsty insurgents, but from an outsiders’s perspective looked a lot more like an adorable fort...” www.welcometohellworld.com/the-battles-...

A confused, lonely fed bleeding profusely from the face, the ground littered with Goldfish crackers and hundreds of pink whistles, green gas everywhere, ICE showing their ass, the Home2Suites Hilton defended (?) @acatwithnews.bsky.social reports from 2 protests/cop riots outside MN hotels this week

For those wondering about how the green experiment is going, I just spoke with Post-Modern Times. They’re a restaurant that have switched to a donations only model. They are “packed.” And “people have been so generous, to be honest? You can come in for free if you want.”

Minneapolis, MN - Found a bar that serves Malort and Wisconsin Old Fashioneds so reporting from the front lines of flavor town for the remainder of the night.

Minneapolis, MN - US Rep. Ilhan Omar was just sprayed by an unknown substance during a town hall meeting in North Minneapolis. Despite some telling her she needed to change, she continued to speak to the crowd. (From a Reuters feed)

Greetings! I’m here at the Federal Courthouse Plaza in Minneapolis, MN. A few dozen people are here for a march and rally against ICE, and are calling for a general strike.

Greetings! I’m here at a press conference at the Minnesota State Capitol. A press conference hosted by CAIR-Minnesota is due shortly. At the capitol entrance, some are holding signs. A few pro-Trump people are also here voicing their opinion.

Maple Grove, MN - Protesters have a noise demonstration at a nearby hotel they say federal agents are staying (I have not independently verified this). Hennepin County Sheriffs and snowplows that belong to the City of Maple Grove are blocking entrance to pedestrians nearby. Caution tape is up.

Minneapolis, MN - On a tip, found several federal law enforcement agents posted in St. Paul in a chiropractor’s parking lot. One appears to be wearing binoculars, another hiding behind a cloth. One films, another waves his binoculars around. While there, rapid responders continue to drive around.

Twin Cities, MN - Greetings! I’m driving around the Twin Cities today. Walked into a Speedway in St. Paul where federal agents purchased Doritos and White Monsters one minute before I arrived. The store manager said that the agent said “y’all don’t like us, huh?”

Just noticed a federal agent drops one of their munitions in this video at the :14 mark.

Greetings! I’m at the Home2Suites in Minneapolis. A noise demonstration against ICE is underway; the lobby has been trashed and there are broken windows. An MPD officer is in front of the hotel. I can’t independently verify ICE agents are at the hotel.

Greetings! I’m here on 26th and Nicolette by the Alex Pretti vigil. Minnesota Police are telling vigil goers they can’t block the street. Vigil goers are telling MPD they are going to block the street. I wouldn’t call it a standoff so much as an impasse.

Greetings! I’m here in sunny Minneapolis, where there are hundreds of protesters marching against federal deportation raids and recent fatal shootings by federal agents.

More TK from the Ten Four, and likely a few other outlets. If you’d like to support me and the Ten Four directly, you can do so here: venmo.com/u/ACatWithNews

Well folks, I think it’s becoming increasingly clear that I’ll be in Minnesota for longer than a few days. Expect continuing on the ground coverage, complaints about the cold, glowing reviews of the *shocking* niceness of the people here and some written work dropping in the coming days.

BREAKING: MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension & Hennepin DA file fed lawsuit dmeanding immediate access to federal evidence in DHS agent's deadly shooting of observer during immigration enforcement operation Sat. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Minnesota says DHS actively interfered with efforts by police to investigate the shooting, then abandoned the scene without handing over a secure perimeter, potentially spoiling evidence. The state agrees its request “should be unnecessary,” but we are in unprecedented times.

Greetings! I’m in Minneapolis today in sight where federal agents have shot a man reportedly during a federal immigration raid. Things are tense, there’s chemical irritant in the air and people are arriving en masse.

Minneapolis, MN - Dozens of protesters are in the street outside of the Target Center (the anti-ICE event inside recently ended). Smashing blocks of ICE, chanting “fuck Donald Trump.”

Greetings! I’m here in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Despite -9 Fahrenheit degrees, a huge crowd is here marching against federal immigrant detainments downtown.

Minneapolis, MN - Despite -18 degree Fahrenheit weather, dozens of people are outside the Whipple federal building to protest against increased federal immigration detainment in the area.
