An activist's toddler is at the center of a debate about parenting and civility at Police Commission meetings.
Since the coronavirus outbreak began, a growing number of L.A. public officials have seen their homes become the target of protesters.Under the current guidelines, attendees are afforded one warning for being disruptive before they can be removed from the meeting. Signs are banned. Speakers are instructed to stick to the agenda items from the meeting or policing matters in general, and not to make personal attacks on other attendees.
“Their ability or willingness to escalate those tactics, as was demonstrated here today, including the use of a child, in my view is not a successful path,” Moore said, apparently referring to Reedy. “I’m aware that anybody who goes to any protest is likely to be scanned with facial recognition software, and so I don’t know how kids could be precluded from that,” she said.
Khan acknowledged there is some theatricality to such tactics, but it can ensure that commissioners pay attention, since they are sometimes on their phones during the public comment period or seem otherwise distracted.
