Bus Riders Detained
- Share via
* “Not Having a Nice Day” (photos, July 29) shows LAPD officers with drawn guns prepared to board a bus in search of two riders who reportedly had threatened to harm the driver. The officers detained all of the passengers with their hands over their head as if they were all criminals. Clearly, these photos illustrate the need for LAPD reforms. The indiscriminate detention of these bus-riding citizens regardless of constitutional rights must not be allowed. Bring in the feds. Pleeease!
