A day earlier, a federal judge ruled that police could only enter that building if they have a search warrant or during an emergency. The decision came in response to the American Civil Liberties Union's complaint that the headquarters, named the Convergence Center, has been a target of police harassment. The order was the latest constraint placed on the Los Angeles Police Department in advance of the convention. The LAPD earlier was ordered to shrink a security zone around the Staples Center to allow demonstrators to be nearer to Democratic delegates who will be meeting inside. Los Angeles Police Chief Bernard Parks joined activists Saturday to pay tribute to children slain by violence and to call for greater restrictions on guns.
Guns do kill and they kill at a very high rate.
